Running A Test - Number Times Topic / Thread Viewed

[Nifty-Chicken]

Ok, that was kinda fun! I just did some DB backend magicery!

I searched for all topics where the post count was greater than the view count and replaced the view count with the post count! It isn't fully representative, but at least topics that had a lot of post will at least have "some" views.

Know way! And I was just going to post this in the GFM Section LOL But my computer broke down! Great Point, debiraymond-

I think it is a huge help for people who think they are being ignored. Knowing that people viewed it and didn't have an answer, well at least people are looking. I think it helps people in the hatching, predators, injuries forums alot.​

Good point. I don't really like view counters, but I guess they do make people feel less lonely.

I agree. I've posted many topics and mostly get no answers. I like that it shows me how many people are viewing, but perhaps don't have anything to say.

Wait how would you know how many people visit the thread?

I like this idea!

Does it only register views by logged in members or are the "lurkers" views included? And yes, it would be very nice in BSA.

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Counts both logged and not-logged in members.

I really don't care for the view counts. I can be upsetting to see 50 views but only had 5 people respond.
