 * Dear Lester Chan,
 * How can I ‘reset’ or change the ID numbers? Currently I am using the variable%
   POLL_ID% on my archive page to separate the closed and open polls from one another
   and people can easily refer to those results on social media or whatever medium.
 * Currently, I have the ID’s of 2 and 3, because I deleted my test poll, which 
   had the original number 1 ID. Also, when I add a certain poll, it ‘claims’ this
   ID in the future aswell. We have just started with the poll, and right now it
   is displayed as #2 which can be confusing.
 * Is there some kind of function I can release to get rid of the existing order
   and create a new order of ID’s?
 * Regards,
    Neo
