Description Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 2005-04-28 11:28:31 UTC
Rather than maintaining our own format for the user_options field we should use
a php array which we move around with serialize and unserialize, this would be
faster.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2005-04-28 22:50:17 UTC
A blob is a huge pain in the ass when trying to get aggregate information on options usage or to 
make global changes to users' settings.

Instead of any blob format, we should be using a property table.
