New VIEW COUNTER = Topic Interest ! THANKS!

[JonB]

Thanks to "Mad" Tony [recently, madder than usual!] for installing the "VIEWS" counter on our site.

Now, when a post shows ZERO replies, but numerous VIEWS, you can take that as some measure of relative interest. IE- Jerry posted a new item for sale.....NO replies.....but over 40 HITS so far!

Some topics get hundreds of views, very quickly. Dont Miss 'em!

Old topics will only show the views SINCE INSTALL, so don't be confused. When archiving, why archive YAWNERS ?

THANKS TONY ! Great addition.....

Thanks to Jon for the "cajoling" and a bigger thanks to Tony for implementing the counters. Good idea and nice implementation.

Any chance they'll make their way to the "View Today's Active Topics" / Standard view?

I noticed this feature the other day, and am glad it was added - I also remember inquiring about having it about 6 months ago

Special thanks goes to George at MGW who requested this about six months ago, and double thanks to Tony for redoing the code to make it work here..... OK........... thanks to Jon B. for harrassing us to get it completed

After all the posts this week bashing the Moderators for the changes, I want to say that I like them and I think the Views column is a great addition.

Thanks again,

Anthony

I think it's a great idea - and a long time coming! It helps everyone figure out whether the impressive hit counter comprises mostly errors, lurkers, or posters, and where the interest lies.
