I noticed some interesting things with the number of page views to topics. I wonder how accurate they are!
It's been a fe times now that I noticed that on posting a new topic, this topic was immediately marked as being read a number of times. Which I thought strange.
The latest new topic I posted here though gave me a clue - there were 4 people browsing this forum, and on posting the message it was marked as being read 4 times ...
I noticed this peculiarity on other Proboard forums as well.

Hi Gerrit,
I have noticed this as well. And, I have worked out what is happening. Every time a page of messages appears on your computer screen, it counts that as having been read once. So, when you post the message, it has no "reads" but, when the page comes up with your message on it, that counts as one. If you edit the message, it counts again. And so on. If you follow a link from a page, when you go back to it, it is another "read". So, I don't place too much importance in them.
Cheers, Keith.
