Not Views, Clicks!

Post by halil16 »

I noticed an error. I was refreshing the page paying attention to the Topic "views" count. Then all of a sudden I started clicking on the link one after the other without the page reloading. When I stopped clicking and the page was loaded, it should have increased by 1 view, but the number increased as I clicked.

You're assuming you're the only person looking at that topic.

I just did exactly the same and the view count only went up by 2. I clicked 10 times.

Exactly. Right now there are 8 guests looking at this very forum, and there is an endless supply of bots that scrape the site.
