Hello, I have noticed that whenever I start a NEW thread or poll, the counter for how many times the thread or poll has been read always shows that "12" persons have already viewed it. Is this a setting in the control panel that I can change or is it an error of the system?

Thanks!

I didn't even know "times viewed" was an option for a Poll. I don't see it myself.


 

This count happens to be four, BUT, I just mere fractions of seconds before had posted the test and this is what the counter shows. No way 4 people viewed it in that instant.

Thanks

Interesting, I appear to have the same problem.
 
Here`s a link: http://lightercollectorsforum.createaforum.com/links/please-read-before-posting/
 
It won`t go past 12 no matter how many times I read/view the topic.
 
I`m new to these forums (more experienced on phpBB), but on some forums `View` and  `Read` as in `Read Count` mean different things, depending on your settings, permissions,  etc.
 
There`ll be a simple explanation - usually is! Just finding it!! Therein lies the problem!
 
If I manage to work it out, I`ll come back...
 
Edit: Typical - having just clicked on the link myself the count went up to 13. 
 
Bit like the time I called the plumber cos I had a leaky tap, and when the plumber arrived the tap had stopped leaking!
 
 

 
 
 

BTW: I notice that it also indicates 3 guests are also viewing the topic. Again, how is this possible when I just posted it? I mean, literally, just posted it. Is it possible that the number it is indicating is somehow counting persons who may have actually simply been on the site at the moment I posted but obviously had not enough time to click on the new thread? 


Thanks
