Is this issue fixed or do we still have 2 blockchains running?

Fixed? U call 51% attack organized by Bitcoin Foundation "a fix"? :facepalm:

What 51% attack?  Do you even know what "51% attack" means?  Hint: it isn't the Bitcoin equivalent of the boogeyman.

Isn't there written about 51% attack?

  • If you're a miner, please do not mine on 0.8 code. Stop, or switch back to 0.7. BTCGuild is switching to 0.7, so the old chain will get a majority hash rate soon.

It's not an attack if nobody is stopping you from making transactions or getting confirmation, but just for you own safety, you need to wait out a bit longer, like wait for 30 something confirmations, etc.
