Hi, all: I posted a few topics today and replied to others. How do I get to the views section for each topic? It says, for example, on my "Poor Strangled Cat" topica, I see there are six views. How do I get to the views? I can go to my original topic; but, can't seem to figure out how to get to the views. Could someone write a separate topic, or write me a message? Thanks. I can't seem to get to the views. Yeah, I must be stupid! Thanks.

Hi there. If you click on the topic you posted, you'll see any replys that may have been added to it. What's important is the amount of posts, not views. Views just means that six people have read your topic. If it says there are six views, and topic has 3 posts, then six people have read your topic, and two people have replyed to your topic. You count as the first post to your own topic. Do you understand? Hope this helps, John

Hello Boomer. There is no way to see who has viewed the topic and how many times. I never understood the reasonsing for listing how many views a board has, since each time u view a board, whether u have come back to respond to the topic or are just browsing the messages, it counts as a view. So I could sit there and refresh the page 100 times and have 100 views on my topic. Since there is no way of tracking this right now, the system just knows that a particular topic has been looked at so many times.
