spacesurfer Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) It seems when a member views a topic, the number of times a topic is viewed is increased by 1. If you view the topic again, it will not increase.But what about for guests? When a guest views a topic several times, will the number of views increase accordingly?I know that in some forums, the number of views increases even if the viewer is a member. Thus, this number is a false indicator of the real number of views.Just curious... Edited June 20, 2007 by spacesurfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 That's a feature of this board since in this way the MSFN DB is exonerated.Update Topic Views Immediately If enabled, the topic views counter will be updated as one loads a topic. If not enabled, the topic views will be written to another table and the topic views updated every 3 hours. This will significantly reduce overhead on the topics table if you have a very busy board as it overcomes the write lock initiated when the topic counter is updated.
