during the install process you're given the option of the db prefix; you could go in and rename all of the databases and then update your includes/config.inc.php file.

I'm sure the photopost config will allow you to change the prefix however, and would recommend this vs messing around with renaming your databases.

i just need to change the cookie prefix for the login.
i have added some javascript to all of my webpages to show if the user is logged in. it looks for the cookie w3t_myid.
and when i installed 7.2 i used w3t_ as the database prefix.

You can change the cookie prefix in the primary settings -> advanced options. One note about changing this live, is it's going to log everyone out, and the next time someone visits that is normally remembered, they'll need to login again.

Lol so sorry that I miss-read what you wanted; I was in a hurry to get out the door and thought i saw database prefix vs cookie prefix...
