This scares me, lol. I just found out that Jos is not the first member, but there isn't a first member either!

Jos' ID is 2, and on the list, you don't see any 'earlier' user. So who is this strange user...?

How did you get this - incorrect - information?

Hmmm... then is phpbb evil and make a secret user to monitor al your activities

.

Jos - I was talking about the forum. Just move your mouse over the 'profile' button or the members' name when it's clickable (in the memberlist, etc).

Well, according to the Memberlist, Jos is #1 ;-)

I see no other, but the the one called Jos. He is the one the Path leads to. *Bows his head in reverence as the room fills with the chants of Tibetan monks*

Jochem is actually almost right. First, I didn't get what he was talking about either. But when investigating the link to Jos' profile a little closer, especially the u parameter, I finally understood, too, that Jos has indeed the user_id 2 in the database.
And yes, there is a user 'Anonymous' with an user_id lower than 2. That user's id is not 1, but -1, though.

A user with the user_id 1 in the database does not exist.

The actual reason is unknown to me. It likely has to do with easier index calculations. Or maybe one of the many PHPbb developers very early made one slight mistake in the calculations involving user_ids and now they keep it like that in good humor.

Anyway, very observant, Jochem.

Maybe #1 is Guest? That would be logical...

Curse that Guest!

He hath foiled me for the last time.

#1 could be the guest, or a standard system/root login when setting up the forum, or perhaps a first failed attempt by me to create an account when I was still setting things up

... I don't remember the installation procedure ...

Yes, it MUST be a ghost. Not something Jos did wrong, or the guest (the guest was -1, right?).

Or id=1 are the germans

(sorry, saw the wonderfull movie Snatch).
