Understanding Number of views in a forum | Forums

[Mad_Murdock2k]

I'm a little confused on how the number of views on a post increments. In a private topic, between me and another guys, after only 2 days it says 134 views. I know I've only looked at it 2-3 times, and I doubt he's looked at it 130 times. So how do these numbers increment.

Say for public post, namely like Polls, I see 1,000 views, but 100 people voted. is it safe to assume the other 900 views were just visitors ?

I'm also assuming that once I view something, the number doesn't go up, if I view it again. But that's assuming there is a tracking mechanism in place, which may not be.

In 30 words or less, can someone tell me how the numbers increment ?

I would even love to hear an answer on this..lol

I have sent members PM's before with just me and them in it and I get the same..within a few days..view goes up sometimes to 5 or 6.I can't imagine the member has reread it 4 times.

Yep, I have absoulutely no clue. At first I thought the forum was screwy when my PT's between infydave and I had 1,069 reads when I had only read it once...but then I realized that davey was just obssessive

I agree Mrmetal...once the SDK comes out the mods will be much better..

I tend to think UBI pays some one to read every PM that is sent for $18 an hour...
