view counter jacked.

Recommended Posts

I noticed that very time I refresh a post the view count goes up by 2.

Is this bug or is it to improve statistics for advertisers?

I was surprised to see so few replies to a post when so many views had been listed, then I realized that if I looked at the post say 5 times, that actually equals 10 views.

So 100 views could be 4 people looking at it 12 or 13 times...

Is it not possible to make only one view from each IP address so the statistics are more accurate?

Other forums that I frequent do not seem to have this issue and double counting is a bit off.

It's definitely not a deliberate intention and we weren't aware of it until now. We will do some testing and investigate - and seek to resolve any problem that may exist. I haven't actually looked into the forum post counter before so I can't say what method it uses to count, but I'll take a look at it.
