Delete the account and create a new one. That's about your lot really.

I don't break things

Just ****ed up the permissions once

Other than that, I'm the best admin on the entire internet

So I couldn't kill user ID #27 (a totally random example

) and make my account the new 27?

I didn't think you could specify a user ID when creating an account, I thought it just did an increment on the field in the table to give the number up from the currently highest ID.

So you want to kill Pickers? What's he done to you then? Come on, own up, that disclaimer won't do you any good.

The answer is no. Well, not without paying Daz to reprogram the forum database for your convenience.

Burble, correct. For the geeks it'll be an auto-increment column in the users table or somesuch (cba to go look).

Should be able to do it by arsing about with the database I suppose but there's not really an easy way to do it.

The drop and truncate commands are the ones you need to be using Desmo
