What will happen on Oct. 24. Is there a feature that will be activated or is just a block that has to be passed. Due to all the trouble in the last days with this coin I get a bit nervous with with new features. So dev, what will happen on this day? Most of the nodes are still on 1.5. Do we have confidence there will be no mess again? Please give some explanation and ensure we do not face again the same problems. I get a bit tired loosing coins all the time!

Yes exactly, we can repeat the recent situation. Those who do not update the wallet 0.12.1.6 will no longer mining a coin and the wallets will not be synchronized. If you are a miner and worry, use at this period http://pool.eternity-group.org/ everything is prepared there.

I'm not a miner and I have updated my wallet yesterday already. I was just asking what is planed for the 24th. Will the new wallet just reject connections with the old nodes and what will happen if the current status of only 20% on 1.6 remains till this date. We will have two chains and the old one will be the stronger, so I see again a potential fork in the wrong direction.
What you should probably do is to ensure that all the exchanges have version 1.6 by Oct. 24, so users will need to move to this version, too.
I would also recommend to put the mandatory update also in red in the OP.
What also helps is to send PMs to the active users in this thread. It is a bit more work, but is very effective.
In my opinion you have to have most of the user on 1.6 before that date, otherwise who knows where this will end.
What I saw just 2 days ago was a rewind and overwriting of the chain for 3 days in the past, while all the time connected to the explorer and listed there as a "proper" node. After the rewind all the transactions and moved coins were gone. I'm not sure if you or someone else made the fork and the overwriting, but I really do not wish you to compete with a off-chain (in your opinion) that is stronger then yours.

One last remark on the block explorer. Please this one is always on the right chain and height, so user can check their wallets and be sure they are on the same (right) one.

I agree, I don't want another sad day of loosing...
