We're running 5.1.5.
We have 6184 topics and 26964 posts across our four subforums.
However, the post/topic id number which can be seen in the URL of each page, is up to over 753000.
If I post a new topic, let's say it has id 753201. If I immediately post another new topic, it will have an id not of 753202 like I would expect, but something 200 or 300 higher, like 753438.
What could cause this, and is it a problem? I'm guessing the number maxes out at some point, and because we're jumping a few hundred with each post instead of just 1, I'm afraid we're going to hit the max and encounter problems.
This also seems to screw up our "Statistics & Logs" / "Statistics" / "New Post Statistics", which falsely show that we had 15690 posts just yesterday, 7334 the day before, and 4056 on Monday. The reality is that we only have 50 to 150 new posts on any given day (and yes I mean posts and not topics).
We have a very vanilla install with only minor CSS customization. We have kept up to date with updates, and, as I said, are running the latest -- 5.1.5.
