Description
If we reach the magic UID number then that would be a good problem to have because of the amount of subscribers. But...
Why that limit?
and, If a user unsubscribes, are defunct UID's reassigned? (this is probably a better question for the Dcore user module)
Referring to readme.txt
Special note: when using these modules all uid's must be in the range 1-65535 and, if using lm_paypal_paid_adverts, the same range applies to node ids.The only reason I have some concern is if, hypthetically, the site lives for 3-7 years and UID's are not reassigned then we could reach that limit and would need to consider a different solution. I guess if we reach that number then we should have the funds to do what is needed though.

The limit is due to the old way in which two numbers - the node-id and and the user-id are combined into a 32-bit number - by limiting them to 16 bits each. This is not an issue in the new branch of LM Paypal, but remains in the original/legacy codebase.

Thanks for reply. I will post on http://drupal.org/node/502394 so two threads of same topic aren't running.

Will try to work on this in that thread (since I have a Drupal site set up with over 70,000 users ;-).
