This blows... I just installed the update status module and it told me I had about eight modules I should update. So I did and now every thing's broken on my site! Well, actually only a few things...
I updated the following modules:
Global Redirect, Views Slideshow, Path Auto, JQ, ImageField, fckeditor and I think a few more.
Here's what happened:
1. My Views Slideshow stopped working. Now only the first image is displayed and it fades into nothing. I tried commenting out different .js calls but it didn't work. I also tried turning off different modules, re-installing 'Views Slideshow' etc... etc... I'm not sure what the issue is. Could there be a jQuery conflict of some sort?
2. I can't use the Global redirect module any more either. This is because when it's turned on, it replaces the contents of a slider I made with jcarousel with some random links... I have no clue why it's doing that!
Man if I would've known that updating the modules was going to break my whole site, I wouldn't have done it!
Has anyone else had issues like this?

best practice is to back up your site BEFORE you update anything. In a case where this is a production site, I would have make backups, pulled them to my localmachine where my dev site runs then updated there to head off any problems BEFORE touching the production site.
when you updated the modules did you run update.php ?
if so and you are still stuck, revert to the back up of the DB and files you made before doing this task.
