Is there a way to reset the Poll ID? The Demo Polls that you get when installing Advanced Poll are labeled 1 till 3. However, if you delete these polls and create a new one it will be labeled as Poll ID 4 and so on. Is there a way to start with Poll ID 1 again? My thought are that I have to change something in the database because the ID numbers are remembered. When you create a new Poll and immediately delete it and create another one the ID number goes up. Anyone knows the solution to this?
A big thanks for any help.
Regards,

Why don't you just modify the first 3?

In MySQl if you specify that a field is to be an INT and auto incrementing then even if you delelte a number it will carry on from where it was and not from the current highest number. Even though you delete posts 1, 2 and 3 they cannot be remade.

or if you savvy with MySQL and phpMyAdmin you just edit the fields if you've already deleted the polls.

Now why didn't I think of that?
I already had deleted those polls and editing the MySQL database was a bit too complicated for me so I reinstalled the poll and like Duilen said, modified the first 3 Polls.
