No.
The user.userid field is the primary key for the user table.
Mysql autoincrements & assigns the field value as each row is created.
Anyhow, if you could change it, and did... all the posts, PMs, subscribethread records etc. would then be associated with the "wrong" userids.

Oh yeah I tried something like this once and that's what happened. It's probably possible with a huge query, but probably not worth the effort. You're right ;)

No to both. The emails are configurable by templates but if you want to change the times the emails are sent, you have to tinker with the code.

No screenshots because there are no screens. It's a silent script that runs via cron.

Don't think you want to do that and here is why. In 10 days after the person fails to activate you could get 100 new members who do actively post. Their posts, etc are all marked with their userid. In addition, people may have bookmarked their profile page, etc. based on their current userid.

(Just noticed Sparky handled that one. Thank you Sparky)

19 out of 20 times the reason they haven't completed their registration is due to them not receiving the e-mail in the first place and sending them more could be a waste of time.

The reasons I have noticed range from their inbox being full, their privider considering them spam, their provider not accepting from your host to them giving a bogus address.

My site often has problems contacting hotmail, AOL and various other un-heard of providers. Lately my site cannot contact msn.com e-mail users at all.

I can see a lot of e-mails comming from people complaining that they keep registering and it doesn't work.

I see no way to win this situation but if it were only due to the new registrants laziness or stupidity in completing the process rather than for all the other reasons this is a nice hack anyway.

I ban hotmail because of that problem. I agree that the emails are probably not being received, but heck it's automated and doesn't waste my time. :D

Not sure what you mean. This one is a check for people who never clicked the email activation link.
