OP Writing as one who is usually last to know, I just realized today that the number of thread viewings is highly deceptive.
Here's why: Yeah, Wordwind, tell us what the rest of us always knew...
Everytime you click on a page of a thread, the number increases. For instance, if there's an eight-page thread that you haven't read, everytime you click on a new page of the thread, the number of thread viewings increases by one.
Therefore, the number of viewings increases on that single eight-page thread by eight even though only one person has read that thread one time.
Feeling a lot better for having pointed out the inflation of numbers here (even though everybody else already knew it),
Wordwind And to think it took me nine months to realize this!!!
