Its a while since I've noticed that the number of views a thread has had, is not shown anymore. I think it was useful information. Is there a reason its not there anymore? Could you bring it back?
Thanks

It's total views, members and guest, and not unique. Unique would require a ton of data storage and processing for each view.Stephen Tashi said:If forum member X looks at a thread twice, does that count as 2 views ? If so, I think it would be more interesting to have a count of the number of distinct forum members who have viewed the thread.
Only a ton?Greg Bernhardt said:Unique would require a ton of data storage and processing for each view.
A ton of electrons is a gigantic amount...Bystander said:Only a ton?
The number of thread views is a measure of the popularity and engagement of a particular thread or topic. It can indicate how many people are interested in the discussion and how much activity is happening within the thread.
There could be several reasons for a sudden decrease in the number of thread views, such as a technical issue or a change in the algorithm used to calculate the views. It could also be due to a decrease in interest or participation in the thread.
It is possible for the number of thread views to be manipulated, but most platforms have measures in place to prevent this. Additionally, as a scientist, I cannot condone or support any attempts to manipulate data for personal gain.
The accuracy of the number of thread views depends on the platform and its tracking methods. Some platforms may have more accurate tracking systems than others. However, it is important to note that the number of thread views should be used as a general indicator and not as an exact representation of the activity within a thread.
The number of thread views can be a useful metric for measuring the success of a thread, but it should not be the only factor considered. Other factors such as engagement, quality of discussion, and relevance of the topic should also be taken into account for a more comprehensive evaluation of a thread's success.
