Member Nmber Hack is Wack (on my board)

[Sarge]

I installed the simple member number hack

using $userinfo[userid]
in my postbit template

But the thing is.. all my member numbers start like at 2,000 instead of 1... yes I transferred from a UBB.

IS there anyway I can reset my member numbers back to where they were?
I tried the update counters thing and it didnt fix it.

Perhaps you originally transferred your UBB, wiped it out and did it again?

[Armage Bedar]

The user numbers are apparentely determined by including the 'userid' column from the database. Because of the fact that that column *always* increases - never fills in gaps with new records or the like - your userids could very well begin at 20, or 200, or 2,000. You'd need to use more than just $userinfo[userid] to get an accurate count - which potentially means more queries. (Oh, and you'd have to do this for each post in a thread - which could get somewhat resource-intensive.)

Freddie: Yes, I was helping him and we imported from UBB, wiped it, and imported again. There was some reason we did this. Can't remember what though...

Armage: You're right. It auto-increments. I'm not sure there is a way to get an "accurate count" (which would actually just be an accurate number, not a count), outside of ordering by join date and counting from the first registration.
