View counts out of whack

[FeuerFrei]

Seems like all/most threads started recently have only one more view than replies. This ratio would be a highly improbable coincidence, even for one thread -- let alone dozens simultaneously.
Apparently thread views aren't being tracked and incremented by the forum software.
This is a recent development. Maybe a glitch from recent reshuffling.

I noticed the same thing happening too. All new threads are reply+1.
But...

Not saying you are a nagger, but I'd rather take the fast forum over view count any day.
View count is nearly redundant in VB (up to 3.x) anyway, it only seems up update hourly at the :00 mark for most vb forums, not instantly, and are recounted when the viewer views it again - hence, it's a near useless feature other than for minor purposes.

But if it's a glitch causing this, I guess it can be a little bit of a red flag. /nagger

I don't think they have ever worked. I've seen too many Threads with X Replies and 0 Views over the years to even bother worrying about the View count.

Frankly view count is not a big deal to me, other than as an indicator of interest a topic draws.

But when it goes from being obviously erroneous 3% of the time to ... what... 99%, it's rampant enough to warrant mention as a nagging niggling problem.

Looks like this problem has been fixed. Good work.

Yes. It took quite some time, but the view counts have now been successfully re-whacked.
