Description
This looks like what I need, however the note states to check compatibility. Any word of issues with OG 5-7.3? Would you say issues would be expected? I am willing to give it a try and let you know my findings
#1
I'd say give it a shot. I don't believe there are major changes between 7.2 and 7.3. If you run into any issues, let me know. If you are able to use Drupal 6, the 6.x version of the module contains several enhancements and fixes not present in the 5.x branch.

I'm trying it with og73 and seeing some errors due to variables that the new og doesn't use anymore.
I think that uses of the og_omitted variable need to be replaced with calls to function og_is_group_post_type($node->type), and use of the og_node_types variable needs to be replaced with calls to function og_is_group_type($node->type)
This may not be noticeable on a site that still has those variables in the database from an older version of og, but when you change og settings then it will cause problems since og won't update the old variables.
Haven't seen any other problems yet though.
