Any ideas why the Views: stat is missing? I like the stat so I can see when a topic has had a lot of FR interest even if replies aren't high. I checked computers in 3 locations and none of them showed views.
I did a search for "views" and find 1 posting from 3/05 about Views - it vanished before and may not be a universal problem. Also, tried clicking on "Activity" as someone there indicated and some threads have views and others don't.
That function has been defunct now for 2 or 3 days.
Good question. i liked the stats too.
Might be it eats up to much space?
Hits/view counters by threads shouldn’t take up too much space - not as much as the space taken from multiple postings and archives - there is usually a script error or something like that when counters stop working. A conflict that causes the script not to work...but I don’t know what the tech is at work here.
Lets try leaving it off for awhile, I had a thought briefly that it was a good way to target a thread for trolls to come in and disrupt things, it was just a thought.
I do think that FR should be more defensive in the near future, lets not give away any tools to the lefties, they are worse that rats in a bucket right now.
do rats in a bucket kill each other?Never tried it.
I have missed the hits also.
My school of thought is that there are a lot of independents and blue collar dens that visit FR and the information available cannot be found on the MSM.
JMHO.
If you sleep at night wearing two layers of tin foil on you head, mark an X on your front window with masking tape and disrupt a DU thread once a day for the next 46 days, we"ll let you join us.
:oP
Trolls, shmolls. haha I like the stats and have found them usually flagging good posts.
I’m appalled by the lefties behavior...truly stunned that these are the same people who are our co-workers, neighbors and other people walking around in normal-people disguises.
Typo aside I think its really more like cocaine rat-junkies in a bucket full of acid bouncing around.
On my way home from work yesterday here in Wasilla I saw about 30 Obama supporters with their posters and signs whooping it up at Crusey street which is a good spot to do that at here in town, I did notice the response was majorly subdued, no horn honking or drivers waving, someone was taking pictures but mostly I think it was a feeling that most everyone here knows that Obama wants to destroy America and that its a shame too many people have not been awoken to his real agenda.
We miss the view counter. Can we have it back?
Until I saw this thread I had no idea they were gone. It matters to me not.
I too like the “views” and would like to have it back.
views, and the forum the post belongs too...which has been gone for a while now..
>>and the forum the post belongs too...<
That is still on the top & bottom right of each page.

Your post makes no sense.
LOL
I was talking about the individual listings on the main page, and the are indeed gone.
Thank you for giving us back the view counter.
