Testing to see if views can = 0
Normally when one does this it forwards you to the thread and gives you a 1 in the views column. Just testing this out

Re: Testing to see if views can = 0
Views = 1 (probably 2 now if I go back and check).
Soooo....whadd're ye up to, here?
Views = 6. Guess whatever you're cooking up hasn't panned out...if you'll pardon the pun.
Views = 13.

Re: Testing to see if views can = 0
It was 0 for a bit. Obviously changed when it was viewed. I was just wondering if it counted when the view submitted page pops up or after you are actually forwarded to the thread.
No point or purpose, just curious.

Re: Testing to see if views can = 0
That would take two people to check, but according to what I've experienced, it will count, but the viewer minding the count will see no change of number until s/he refreshes the page.I.D.10-t wrote:It was 0 for a bit.

Re: Testing to see if views can = 0
During the quick splash screen, I clicked the "Test Forum" button which effectively refreshed the test forum listings. It must have because the thread wasn't there until after I made it.
If it never refreshed, there would be no thread.
If it counted right after submit, views would = 1.
It had the thread and Views = 0.

If I understand you - I'm trying - this is logical. That's the way it works.I.D.10-t wrote:...I clicked the "Test Forum" button which effectively refreshed the test forum listings. It must have because the thread wasn't there until after I made it.
As a matter of fact there would be a thread, but you just wouldn't see it until you refreshed by whatever method. Others would be able in the meantime to see the thread and interact with it while you sat looking at no change at all.I.D.10-t wrote:If it never refreshed, there would be no thread.

The page in between clicking submit and being forwarded to the thread. Don't know if it has a technical name. The forwarding page?Nanohedron wrote:I don't know what you mean by this.I.D.10-t wrote: During the quick splash screen...
I should have said no thread listed, so yes what you said. But one was listed.Nanohedron wrote:As a matter of fact there would be a thread, but you just wouldn't see it until you refreshed by whatever method.

Well, that is why I did it in the test area. All that and zero practical application.Nanohedron wrote:Interesting. That is not the usual, in my own experience.I.D.10-t wrote: If it counted right after submit, views would = 1.
