Here is my DB prior to the upgrade to 2.0.17:
75618175 Feb 28 07:00 database_smf209_28-02-2020_04-01-15.sql
And here it is now:
130412891 Mar 6 06:30 database_smf209_06-03-2020_06-30-01.sql
is this to be expected ?
Which table grew?
Also, 2.0.17 or 2.1? Just checking as you posted in the 2.1 board.
sorry about that - please move to 2.0.
I don't know which table grew but let me see if I can find that out.
Error log was the culprit ~ not good !
I had to upgrade the Ultimate Menu mod to 1.0.3 to alleviate some of the errors but still am logging many errors
Please share a sample of the error messages. Might help.
Note that 7.2/7.3 support in 2.0.x is accomplished mainly by suppressing 'deprecated' error messages. A couple people have reported that the error suppression isn't working. I cannot replicate this & do not see it (I'm running 7.3 in my test environments).
The most likely suspect... If the symptom is "Function create_function() is deprecated" messages from Subs.php, one solution that appears to work was shared here, a quick update to Errors.php:

I would also suggest moving to 2.0.17 for the reasons indicated in the release announcement.
sorry but I started another thread as now after updating the mod, i solved these errors but I still get "Undefined Index" errors by the dozen when accessing the Forum tab (I use Simple Portal).
so i will close this thread as my Ultimate Menu issues have now been fixed since I upgraded the mod.
my next issue re. different errors is here (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=572140)
