 * Hi guys, Magic Fields still has unexpected behavior when running on a Multisite
   build of WordPress. Specifically, it appears that the Write Panels you create
   exist across *all* sites in the Multisite build. This is dangerous because you
   can delete a write panel in one site, and it will also be deleted in all other
   sites, causing unintended data loss.
 * Looking at the database, WordPress sets up a set of tables for each new site 
   on the Multisite install, and prefixes them with wp_X_ (where X is the ID of 
   the new site). Note that we also have a “base install” of WordPress tables that
   does not have an ID in the table name (so it’s just wp_* instead of wp_X_*).
 * So, for example, we have a site with an ID of 13 that has these magic fields 
   tables:
    * wp_13_mf_post_meta (the table that holds the magic fields content)*
   wp_13_mf_write_panels (the table that holds the magic fields write panels) Right
   now, wp_13_mf_post_meta is being filled with data related to site 13. However,
   wp_13_mf_write_panels is empty…and all the other wp_X_mf_write_panels tables 
   are empty as well. Currently all the write panels data is being stored in wp_mf_write_panels,
   which *all* the sites are referring to. The write panels should be specific to
   each site, so deleting a panel on one site will not affect the other sites in
   the Multisite build.
 * Anyway, you guys are probably working on this, I’m just hoping it’s done soon!
   Thanks again for all your hard work.

 * Hi, just following up on this one.
    Wondering when magic fields write panels 
   will be unique to each site in a multisite wordpress config. Right now there 
   is one set of write panels that get used across all sites.
