After my reply to the balance post this week I have tried to figure out what makes a "VIEW" appear for a registered member. I have tried logging off, tried a different computer without logging in, shutdown my computer and restarted it while being logged out and I still can't get a "VIEW" assigned to my opening a thread.
I just looked at Jim's post on Shim Pack Couplings, which had no views and I was not listed as a "VIEW" either, even on another computer.

How is this "VIEW" count regulated?

Anyone know for sure?

Now Jim has 16 "VIEWS" while I was typing this. STRANGE!!!!!

Maybe just a delayed refresh on the forum server.

Ralph,

Maybe you are like the comedian Rodney Dangerfield who always says he Gets No Respect!!

Walt

WOW! MAN!!! THAT HAS TO BE IT!!!!!!!

I either reply or I don't exist! "NO RESPECT".

Well this is a new twist to "my" mystery.

I log-out, open a discussion, log-in and the number increases by 1, but the second I open the same post or even a different one, the number is instantly decreased by 1.

Very strange!!!

Ralph,

Let me understand this: if you open and reopen an even number of times, then no one will know you were there!

Happy Thanksgiving,
Walt

Hi Walt,

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the other guys on the board.


What I did, was log-out of the board, open the post main page, open a discussion,(not necessarily an "even" number of times, even an odd number of times), close the discussion, click favorites and open the main page again, log-in and click favorites and open the main page again and there would be the number of views increased by one on the one I had opened while logged-out, but when I opened any discussion, the number on the one I viewed while logged-out would decrease by one and would never increase.

I was trying to figure out why there were so many "views" on some of the posts and why I was not listed as a "viewer". It may be as Ron said, it takes a while to update or something. Seems like I remember somewhere long ago that a person is not included in the "view" list if they are logged-in as a member. I don't know

CLear as mud, huh?
