hi
I am supporting several ARABIC forums and i found that after moving to 3.5.x up to 3.6.x that forums are increasing the databases spacee on the servers and the size is getting so huge more than before(old versions of VB).. so I was testing some DB converting tools by some good coders been posted at swalif.com forums and changing to cp1256 caused a lot of difference in size for the DB,,, so I am wondering is this a good practice , since it downsized the DB size up to 40% of the original size ... !! please advize .
