Found theme’s meta name “description” in header.php and removed the line. Seems to be fine now!

Well here’s hoping for a quick fix by either wp or k2! In the meantime I don’t think I’ll feel too left out using 2.7. The changes seemed negligible, so I wouldn’t have thought my whole theme would go crazy ??

I tried the nightly build before I downgraded back to 2.7, and while it fixed the strange alignment issues it did a few other things that messed up the layout as well. Notably the header turned back into an empty blue rectangle even though the header setup in the admin panel showed I had my image selected. It also changed the live search bar in some odd way. Made it take up more room and overflow my sidebar.. I’ll probably wait a little while before I do this upgrade again, just to be sure. I’m seeing some other topics about various plugin compatibility issues as well.

Deactivate ALL your plugins, then go to the wordpress version archives (google it, you’ll find it) and download the 2.7 zip file. Extract it on your desktop or wherever. Using an ftp client, filezilla, leechftp, etc. open up your blog directory and copy all of the extracted files into it (EXCEPT keep your original wp-config.php). Once all files have been overwritten, reactivate your plugins and you should be set. Might want to backup first just in case but it worked out fine for me.

I’ve downgraded back to 2.7 for now.

took down maintenance message so everyone could see whats happening. no other changes were made, just the upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1. Anybody?
