Reset Growing DiscussionID's
Deprecatedz
New
Hi there, it's me again with brainless questions ...
How can I modify or take control about the growing ID's of dicussions in order to prevent numbers like 666, 6666 or 666kk after doing test tasks? I know it should be a plugin department, but I'm not trying to replace the empty ID's when they are not existing as active post, just resetting them without re-installing Vanilla because I was just testing 
Probably it happened with the usernames too.
Example:
example.com/discussion/ID/name-of-discussion
When I'm going to write the first post it starts in the ID "20" for example. Thanks!

The ID is actually handed out by MySQL. You can set the auto increment value to something arbitrary using the following syntax:
ALTER TABLE GDN_Discussion AUTO_INCREMENT = 31337;

One more thing, is working with usernames in the same way? Modifying the database like this may cause any problem or conflict?
ALTER TABLE GDN_User AUTO_INCREMENT = 3;What is so wrong with these numbers ? The number six is not an unlucky number and in numerology you add up all the numbers until you get a single digit example
666=9
6666=6 lol that is a coincidental singularity in numerology ...

I just don't wanted to manage a big IDs in the first discussion of my board, because I've been testing adding new discussions and usernames. I love Satan too

I am bewildered when people reacts with 'LOL' to something that helped me... rarely isn't a standard @R_J
Edit: It all adds up to be the answer, 'the LOL too'.
It has nothing to do with that, Lol here gives no points anymore so because it was funny and also interesting and I like it I gave a heart for points and a lol to show it made laugh...

I would have clicked "smile" instead of "lol" if that would be possible. I hope that puts your mind at ease again
