There's a post on it over in Forum Issues, but Zuni said then that the server hit was too great to justify it's use. Maybe they changed their minds?

<< If you wish to not see certain categories select the categories you don't want to see below. >>

Is this the option under customize you're talking about?

Just like that? Is Zuni toying with us? (and I don't even know what you guys are talking about!)

There really shouldn't be any server load to update the amount of views a thread gets. I don't understand ...

Question... can the view count be inflated by refreshing or backing out and clicking back in???

So... how can there be more replies than views? Or is that because the function was just turned on?

Any hit on the page will increment the count.

And yes, it's because it was just turned on.

I predict a new kind of NEFFING as people 'load the heck' out of a page, only to inflate the view count.

People's view counts aren't a good indicator of anything. People that spend a lot of time here will have a HUGE number of views due to page refreshing, but their post count may not be that high. Other people, though I won't mention any names, post in every thread they view.

Yeah, they're playing with the feature right now so it'll pop on and off until they get it worked out
