latest member anonymous? userinfo block

Anyone know what causes this? It's odd.... yesterday it was the last person to sign up, it's been working correctly. Today I notice this:

nobody is signed up as anonymous, it's the one that ships with nuke, I think. Says join date nov 10 on it's profile.

I changed anonymous back to user_id 0 in the database. Why would it all of a sudden change to 75?

Well, Ive noticed that before in user info blocks on new users it just dont show anything.
Im not too sure about your exact situation unless you or one of your admins if you have any might have accidentally chenged something. Or worse case scenario it may be some sort of hack attempt. Not too sure but if its not you or your admins then it would almost have to be. Maybe someone else would know exactly what it is. Ive spent numerous hours reading through forums and studying known problems and such and Ive never heard of that.

I'm the only admin... Anonymous was user id 0 before, and for some reason phpmyadmin didn't like it. When I analyze the table, it gives a message about auto-increment value being 0. I changed it to 1 and so far so good.

For phpnuke, Anonymous should always be user_id 1. If that is not how it got installed then you will have problems.
