So if a UID isn't taken (Let's say the UID 6 doesn't exist anymore) how can I change my UID to that one? The only way I know how to change UID's is merging accounts, this would be a lot better for me.
Thanks for your help :smile:
So you have no account for UID-6?
Only thing I can think of, which not sure if it would work or not is to make a fresh brand new account via the ACP. Don't log in, dont post, don't do anything. Then go straight to PHPMyAdmin and change the uid to 6. Might work, might not. Since not posts or threads or pm's were made with it having its original uid then it might work. Not sure.
UID is used in many tables and is highly advised against changing it.

What if the UID is deleted? Could you put the UID on a fresh account then merge with the account you want it on? Also thanks vEconomy.
