The (user id) block just returns a 1

That's because you're the first viewer of the project.

Right. If you log off or log into a different account, it'll change. Neat, eh?

It assigns the User ID to users according to when they viewed the project.
Since you were the first person to view your project, it assigned ID of 1 to you.

IDs will not change, even after a week your ID (in this project) will be 1.
