I think I've figured out what's with the views being lower than the replies in the real thread - it seems to me that the Views count only updates when someone goes to the first page of the thread...and needless to say, most people probably don't do that much anymore since the thread is so damn long. 😛

That sounds nice, but the real reason is that the "views" feature was put in after the thread was started, and has only counted views since it was put in. So the majority of posts in the thread did not count as a view, since they weren't being counted. That happens with lots of old threads, like this one and this one.. 😉

its still happens tho' 🙂

my explanation of why it does that still- cos when you reply, stay in the thread and reply again, you aren't viewing it again each time...🙂

Something like that...which would kind of make what I said still true (i.e., that viewing a page deep in the thread wouldn't update the Views count 😛)

:beer:

:BBQ;

i'd love one, but the Early Morning Mod is close at hand 🙁

the replies > views you mean?


that's because the thread is older than when they started counting views

read the whole thread :|

and...?

there is more to it than just that :|

as at least 3 people have agreed with me, therefore you didn't read the whole thread :|

what the hell are you talking about. the reason *that* thread has more replies than views is because of its age.

yes, when you stay in a thread and reply, it adds one to the views. But that's not the reason that thread in particular is off.
