I empty my tables all the time when doing CRUD work and it just iterates to the next value after the last used. It looks silly & awkward.


Either way, had kirk not returned, he would not have achieved this amazing feat Job well done ♪

Sometimes duplicate posts get made, and the copy is deleted. The deleted post still has its own ID number. On occasion long threads have been duplicated also.

Not sure you would count those posts in any total post count. Same way that your postcount number goes down if you have posts deleted.

If the 10,000 posts of mine which have been so wrongly removed had not been, then I might have still been the responsible for the 10 millionth post - only SOONER.

But those posts still existed? I totally understand the logic, but really there can only ever be ONE accurate figure.

It's like...say I owned a shop, and decided to reward the 100th customer that day with a gift voucher. But a couple of people came in a few times, there were one or two I didn't like, and another that was barred. Sure, I can decide to discount whoever - but really, truly, there will only ever be ONE '100th customer' to walk through the door.
