Understanding View Count on Webpages

[zoobyshoe]

I'm now curious as to what exactly "views" means. I have understood it to be a count of all the separate individuals who have opened the thread during its life. If I open a thread for the first time, for instance, the view count will rise by one. It will not, however, change any time after that I open it.

Is this correct?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Yes that is correct

Thanks, Greg

Edit: one more quetion: the view count includes "guests" who have opened the thread, i.e. people who are not members and can't post?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Yes it includes guests

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yes it includes guests

Ah, thanks! That explains everything.
