I created an all new database in MySQL 5.0.27 for my new UBBT 7.02 install.
I installed UBBT 7.02 just fine and did the import of my old UBBT 6.5.1 and now looking at the folders for MySQL databases I see that my 6.5.1 folder size is much smaller.
6.5.1 = 160MB
7.02 = 352MB
Curious why the new database size is so much larger and if there is anyway for me to decrease it's size.

UBB.T7 stores 2 copies of posts in the database, one formatted and one as it was entered

Thanks for the quick answer. Sorry for what may be a noob question, but why does it store the 2 copies.
There must be a valid reason why the new version stores it this way and I'm curious why or if there is a use for me as an Admin of the site.

One version is the original post, and the other is the parsed version ie. Original [quote=ntdoc]Thanks for the quick answer. Sorry for what may be a noob question, but why does it store the 2 copies.[/quote]

It's done because otherwise, you'd have two options 1) Parse on the fly - this ends up slowing page loads 2) Parse once and only have that copy - this is a problem for editing and quoting, since a lot of work has to be done to figure out what you originally posted. So instead, it's parsed and stored, as well as having the original stored. that way if you go to edit or quote, you just grab the default, and when you view a post, you just grab the parsed

That sure sucks. But like it or not IE still has the lions share of usage.
Does look better on FF though.

I just upgraded to IE7 and still have this wide topic problem here.
I thought IE7 would have solved this problem?

No, Microsoft is part of the issue, but now days I think all of them do it. They all try to offer features that are not an "approved" standard so they deviate a little bit by using their own tags.
There are sites that don't look good in FF too. Doubt the issue will ever be resolved.

IIRC IE doesn't respect the css rick is using; i believe he said he's reworkign it...
Also, on my site, IE users are down to 56.6 % (with FFox up to 28.9 %)

IE does some strange things with their CSS support. I'm reworking things for 7.1 to work around their goofiness
