Forum post bug...

This new forum has one bug of how many people has viewed perticular thread...

Recently I posted a thread and I got know about this bug.

 

View is not depending on how many people has viewed that thread, It depends on how many times that pages is loaded or reloaded.

I tested it by being on same page within quick time I refereshed more that 100 times. And every time I refresh this thread I use to see view counter++ .

Number of times page is loaded view counter goes on increasing independent of number of user.

Thanks.....

Sunil

    Correct answer Sunil Yadav

    Icon says it all.

    If views means number of times page is being reloaded then you can upload your video on YouTube and reload it more than one million times and you can simply be rich by doing nothing.

    Number of view does not mean number of times page is being refreshed or reloaded. It means number of users has view this post / videos.

    Old Jive already has this functionality, see below screenshot:

    The screenshot you can see is of a thread which I have seen many a times but the counter will increase only if a new user sees the post.

    If number of view is higher then OP can expect of getting  more better answer for their querry. If lesser view means less has seen their post yet. This reloading will put you in a doubt that how many people has seen it because all the time you are refreshing if somebody answered my question or not waiting for response.

     

    Bottom line : View as number of reload doesn't make any sense.

    The information is clearly shown as "page views", which will increase with a refresh. You say it is the number of people who have viewed it - does anything say that, or do you just wish it? Yiu might put it in as a suggestion for improvement, but it would have a much higher cost, and there are much more important problems in my opinion.

      Where do you get page views from, Test_Screen_Name? Just curious.

       

      I see "Views" only which I assumed was unique people viewing - I see that it's not.

      Good spot, Sunil. That's a foundational behaviour.

       

      I assume it's not a code bug but an incorrect setting in the backend of Adobe's implementation somewhere.
