I know that there are bots on internet which might mean view counts are not always realistic and there's not much tech team can do about the issue. It's not that I am having any particular problem or asking for any issue to be fixed but I have seen that the view count on Game of Thrones board is almost always way off and spikes up in a matter of minutes. For example the topic called "S8 predictions" on the first page currently has 165 view counts which is way way off. I suspect the real count shouldn't be more than 15. Just wanted to know is there any specific setting for GOT board that may cause it? Because GOT board is the only board where I see sudden increase in view counts on a regular basis. Doesn't normally happen on sports board or classic board for example.

The problem I have always had when it comes to ProBoards forums is the lack of "Unique Visitor" Views...
I've seen threads that I myself have created, log how many times, I have visited my own thread, especially while editing them!
And So, if 15 members, each view the thread 11 times, it will show the thread having been viewed 165 times.

Probboards folks should consider that option in their next version.
That said normally on most boards view counts seem to be reasonably fine. Sure if we visit a thread multiple times then it always counts up all the time we visit (each individual* N number of times) But GOT board has some bug or is a special case. Because even if we count all the visits by all the posters it still doesn't normally add up to reasonable figure. I have seen my threads spike from 10 views to 250 views in a matter of minute. |
