Bluebird Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Does anybody know how the number of 'views' of a post is calculated? I posted a ticket for sale yesterday and, according to the site it has had zero 'views'. Despite this I've had an enquiry about the ticket. I think it unlikely the person enquiring is psychic! This leads me to believe that this feature of the site does not work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macmillan Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My answer is that I have no idea - but I have also noticed when doing my first day on Links that '0 views' stays in place for a bit, when I've checked back on things. Maybe the counting function only gets in gear after 10 or 20 - who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The "views" count is definitely off kilter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I know from experience on Ballet Alert, which uses the same software, that the Views count isn't updated in real time - there's often quite a long timelag and I assume (though I've never checked closely enough to see it happening) that the count then jumps by the number accumulated in that time. But a gap of a whole day doesn't sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It's been much longer than a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle_Richer Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have noticed the view count does updated each time a new post is made on that thread and I've seen it go several days and no change otherwise, leading me to think it doent work without a new post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I saw a thread with 43 views and one reply. Then there was a subsequent "like" but still 43 views. it is now several days since that "like" and it still has not updated to (at least) 44 views.

Jan McNulty Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've noticed for a while now that when new threads are started the "views" seems to stay at zero until a reply has been made and then they jump up. There was one PR that I started that looked as though it had no views. I posted further information and the views immediately went to 123! I think this seems to be a fairly recent occurence so perhaps something happened last time there were changes to the board software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The "views" situation has not changed in that the "views" seem to stay at zero until someone has posted a reply and miraculously the views appear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The "views" situation has not changed in that the "views" seem to stay at zero until someone has posted a reply and miraculously the views appear! Odd that, isn't it. I will pursue the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I've changed a setting which may or may not help. Please report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
