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.

No, there is no way to safely do this.

Thank you, Ryan. ☺️

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.
