When adding a new record in my forum, if the new thread is the parent
thread, the Parent_Ancestor takes on the record ID (field called
Forum). For some reason, new threads are not inheriting the record ID,
but always receive the number 65535 in its place.
When I try to update a field in a record through PHPMyAdmin, the query
executes, but the record isn't actually updated. Here's my update
statement:
UPDATE `Forum` SET `Forum_Ancestor` = '66901' WHERE `Forum` = '66901'
LIMIT 1 ;
I want the Forum_Ancestor to be the same as the record ID. But, when I
check the record it is still 65535 (which is an erroneous number
anyway).
Is there any significance to the number 65535? Why won't the record
update?
Thanks in advance
