Views on Topic

No need to show the problem with a pic, it's visible for anyone i think.. So the thing is that the topics with just 2 or 3 answers or the ones without any answers got 1k, 8k views, etc.. So idk if you trolling or it's a bug but it's not normal.

Re: Views on Topic

each page visit counts as a view so if you refresh this page it'll count as one extra view
not hard for bots to refresh and definitely not hard for anyone else to do so either

You don't even need a bot actually. You could just hold F5.

Re: Views on Topic

Nobody fixing anything, definitely trolling.. 1st April is coming earlier apparently..

It's not a bug, you were given a reasonable and perfectly valid explanation. Incidentally, even if it were April Fools day today, you'd be the last person to get a joke. pls.

Q&A is for questions related to EE only.

Moved to Forum Discussion.

Atilla is right, each page load counts as a view, and there are *tons* of bots swarming the forums constantly.

What reason you gave that is a valid explanation?

I really can't understand you..

when you click on "Views on Topic" for example, it adds 1 to the view count. if you press refresh, it adds 1 if you are still on the topic. keep doing it and then you have a million views
