How can I increase the Display order presently it's approx 65535. I want to increase it to 9999999999999 is this possible?

What do you mean by display order??

It's the sequence. Alpha or numeric order of the forums.
Example for numeric files with 13 digits (the amount of digits I need) the actual file numbers could be used as a forum title and they would be in numeric order since the forums aren't automatically sorted..

That's crazy... why on earth would you go that far?

Anyway, you need to change the field type for the disporder in (table_prefix)_forums. At the moment, it will be smallint. You can change it to int, mediumint and bigint, depending on how big your number is going to get.

That sounds easy enough, now where exactly will I find "the field type for the disporder in (table_prefix)_forums"?
