In summary, DaveKA got an award for his many posts on the PF forum, but is unhappy because he knows he spends too much time there and has not visited the site in a while. He also has a newer computer that may show more posts, but his old computer has more posts.

So I just caught up with the 21st century and figured this out.

Just right click on some non-linked area of your browser, go to View Page Info, and go to Security... and sadface :(

This is on firefox at least.

Why do you expect encryption? You're not buying viagra from physicsforums are you?

I don't need to worry about any of that. I don't use Mozilla.

No that's even worse. It only means that he is so addicted, he even pays for PF although it's completely free. Very sad indeed.

I paid them like $2 10 years ago. They just haven't noticed and I kept the award.

OH, I thought that was some sort of thing you get after X number of posts. You're right. That's worse. LOL But I've done the same on other forums.

1,038 for me. Thanks for showing me this, I'll go check the other webpages I go to regularly.

Nothing compares to what you have. But I do have a newer computer. It's only a few years old.

But I have a pretty epic number of YouTube video views: 277,989

I have only about 6400 on this computer, in my office. But that's only since the last week of August, because that's when I got this computer. Extrapolating to my computer at home, which I got in August 2008, I'm guessing about 45000 there. Let's see what I find when I get home...

For me it says I've never visited this site before.
How does it count it?

Mine shows the I've never been here before today.

I have over 14,000 posts, that doesn't count posts in P&WA & GD, that's at least an additional 50,000 posts. So, let's say 64,000 posts. Let's say I spend at least 30 minutes at the forum for every post. Over 7 years...

Borek, isn't there a way to see all posts made that count or not?

Only about 11000. I wonder how Firefox counts "visits." Or maybe it's a relatively new feature, say within the last year or so?

There's another way to track Internet habits. ;)

It's at http://www.rescuetime.com.

Anyways, I prefer using it to track visits now that I use Chrome (firefox keeps crashing ad infinitum on me)
