Recounting members?


Recommended Posts

Strange one and possibly an OCD thing... But, I hate seeing that members ID jump up quite a lot throughout registrations with accounts being banned/deleted, etc. Is there a 'safe' way or is it even possible to recount all the accounts and put them back in descending order? I get this may not work for larger communities or ones that use the member ID as their membership ID, etc.

But, I thought I may just ask as it's probably just me that would want to achieve this.

Oh it's possible, but when you get it wrong, whoooooboy.

You'd need to update every instance where the ID is stored, and spend a lot of time developing migration scripts for this task. I'd encourage you to not go down this path.

The closest thing to a supportable method may be to use the converter scripts to import your content from your existing community into another.
