Issues purchasing after Upgrade to Joomla 3.2

The first part of this blog acts as a lesson learnt and a big slap on the wrist for myself. When doing any upgrade on Joomla you should always make a full backup; I also always do this in a testing area. The slap on the wrist comes now with the level of testing given at this point - Do not trust the label of 'STABLE upgrade'; it still needs thorough testing through all processes and not just checking all Pages, which is what I done. Ok so let's have a look at the actual issues that occured. user name and password do not match or you do not have an account yet The mail function has been temporarily disabled on this site COM_TICKETMASTER_AUTOLOGIN_LOGIN_FAILURE 1. The Mail Function has been temporarily disabled on this site. this is an easy - switch on switch off solution in admin -> http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=706&t=825521 2. COM_TICKETMASTER_AUTOLOGIN_LOGIN_FAILURE & user name and password do not match or you do not have an account yet Take a look at https://github.com/Skullbock/joomla-cms/commit/dac70c8c023a2cf1079fa8c31fa2ed3dc393f966 you need to make a change to the Joomla core at lugins/user/joomla/joomla.php Also I had noticed I was getting this message in admin Error "Password too long. Please select a password with 55 or fewer characters." to fix this i went to Plugin Manager: System - Remember Me and reduced the value of Key Length to 6. and my issue seems to be fixed.
