Hey guys,
Exactly! Whenever anyone goes to your form, a unique ID is assigned to them right away. So even if they don't submit the form, that submission ID will never get used again. The skipped IDs are totally normal and aren't any cause for concern.
michat - the bit of code you mentioned, is that the $g_default_error_reporting setting?
You *can* customize the displaying and gathering of those errors through PHP, I believe, but it's kind of fussy. Instead, PHP usually logs that info automatically in its own error logs. For problems of this nature, searching the error logs is a much more elegant way to handle them. I often look through my own logs to find out the sort of problems that are occurring that I didn't know about. Maybe contact your hosting provider to find out where they're stored.
Good luck!
