Views column in forums.

Post by old jasonb »

It's probably a phpBB thing that can't be configured, but it would be nice if Views only counted unique views. In other words, the number of members who've viewed a post (I suppose guests could be counted once) rather than increasing the counter every time anybody looks at the discussion.

Either that, or decrement that counter when a post is edited. (I mention all of this because I sometimes edit new posts of mine multiple times, as far as I'm aware I'm the only person who's ever seen it right after, but the Views count is still in the high single digits. Instead, it would be nice to know just how many people, other than myself, have viewed the post.)
