All good info from jmen.I'll take exception a little bit with this statement though.I did 2 of my bathrooms 10 years ago and installed the tile right on the plywood subfloor and have not any any cracks at all.They are small jobs at maybe 4x4 but have held up great.I did use a cementacious board when I tiled my shower however.fwiw
