Topic: Reset Post ID's

I was wondering how can I have the post ID's reset for my PunBB forum?
For instance, if I delete a post say post 1 the next post would go to post 2 and it won't reuse post ID 1 in a next post
I'm using the latest PunBB, PHP 5.2.10, and MySQL 5.1.37 on Linux.
I attempted changing the post ID in the db for a post, and it doesn't work it still reverts back to post 2, for instance.

Re: Reset Post ID's

Post id is an auto incremental table column. So if any post number is used, it will not be used again.
