Hi,

A thread on my Forums is sitting at a maximum of 65535 and won't increase.

I understand that this is a MySQL issue, and that I need to change a Field Type from smallint(5) to mediumint(8)...

But which one?

Any help would be great appreciated.

Steve

idk what are you talking about.

There is a lot of tables and ID's.

Do you have over 65k threads, is this correct? (also at least 65k posts?)

younis - You are correct it is a mysql issue. a smallint has a range of 0 to 65535.

You can set it to just int and that will solve your issue or you can use mediumint - either will fix your issue. int may be more than needed but will assure you won't have any issues....

Thanks Tyler. Which one do I change though?

Sorry, to be more precise, it's the Tread Views of one of my Forum's threads that has reached the 65535 limit. Which MySQL database file/entry do I change to mediumint?

You need to go to the threads table and change thread_views column.... It can be accessed via phpmyadmin
