 In theory that's possible, but as it's MySQL it would probably go horribly wrong in unspecified waysOriginally posted by BrilloPad View PostWork I work, we occasionally have to set our primary keys. Could admin just update it to 999,999 and then claim a million threads?

 But the thread IDs have reached 100,000 and that's all that matters at this stage

 Primary key in the database table.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostLike tpd?
