holy crap. wull thats ... pretty disappointing to hear, to say the least.
i finally finished the install of 7.1.1, but this database issue seems like it will cause me all sorts of new problems. i was workin on a huge database before with a 130mb gz backup file. now, its 278mb!
its pretty unbelievable. why were things set up in this new fashion? doesn't it cause issues all over the place?
does the fact that i'm using an all new table prefix (ubbt instead of w3t) mean anything? i mean, is it a scenario where all the w3t portions of my database can be nixed to free up space, or did everything just get converted and ballooned?
