I think this thread is brilliant! There is no pleasing some people.

 

[Ian...]

I read it. Noted it was being dealt with. Decided my input wasn't needed.

Billy994: you can always try another forum and I suspect you have just frozen yourself out of this one.
I'm just off to post a question now.... this is a fantastic forum and I have learned so much. Thanks everyone!

Don't worry Billy, we are a forgiving forum. :lol:
You were probably very anxious about your brew, we can all get that way especially if we think we have a problem.
Lots of help and fun banter here, stay with it. :thumb:

Of the 74 views a fair proportion will have been from "bots" indexing the forum for search engines; bloody bots are always take, take , take and never go to the effort of replying.....

Question: if the same person looks at the thread numberous times does the view counter increase?

 

[RobWalker]

right, this is finding its way to my favoruites from now on...

new users need to learn we're an internet forum, not a professional help service. if you want to complain about the advice you're receiving, maybe it's time to visit your lhbs and ask, buy a flippin book, or join a brew club instead of venting behind a keyboard at a bunch of hobbyists. bloody internet!

Question: if the same person looks at the thread numberous times does the view counter increase?

Answer: Yes and the post counter will also tick up if its viewed by non members who just stumble upon it while surfing the web.

 

[ryanshelton]

So at least 13 of the views are the replies, then theres the google search as you say and then people like me who looked and couldnt help!!

 

[BreadMurderer]

This post has had nearly 700 views... so why is there not the same amount of replies?! Shocking.

 

[Stu]

This thread should never die

And posting random pictures should be most welcomed.

Correct the view counter records the number of times the thread has been accessed by members, guests or bots (crawlers spiders etc) and it makes no difference if they are repeat visits. That 's the trouble when people see that their thread has had many views but few replies and make assumptions.
