We used to have that feature on the forums but when we upgraded to the latest version of the Ultimate Bulletin Board program that feature was no more.. lol. But, we're looking into changing to a new program which will have more features and that is one of them! Look for it in the next few weeks!

I don’t know what was the point of that viewed thing. They probably calculated the number of views on a topic by counting how many times the software had to generate that page. So if I would have loaded the page 10 times during a week, they would have counted all the 10 views. I think it would have been more interesting if they would calculated based on the IP of the person viewing the page, so we would know how many DIFFERENT people actually viewed the page. This way we could have made a clear impression on exactly how many of the registered members actually visit the forums, how many of them post, how many unregistered people view the posts, etc.

LOL, I was just looking through the topics in this forum, moving some to the new sub-forums and found a few of the older topics interesting. :)
