Less views...???

Projects seem to be getting/counting less views than before. I also noticed that if an owner views his/her own project, it doesn't count as a view anymore. Will each IP only count as 1 view no matter how many days, a person views the project?

Projects on the front page for about two weeks used to be able to easily get 5000 views. Now it seems that they can't even get 3000?

It looks like it is either a glitch with the view system just like the download one, or not as many people are coming on Scratch.

Also, my Mario game shows to have 3 views, but 4 love its.

Maybe you love your mario game, and so does everyone else whos played it. And I like this new feature. No more cheating to the front page

If you look at it, it has the question Love It?, so no I didn't love it.

That shoulds like another glitch to me.  Good for you for grabbing an image of the problem.

First of all,someone could have loved it so much that they have two accounts and on both accounts they pressed the love it button. Second Scratch only takes a view for each IP so it is not a glitch at all.

Re: Less views...???

We have always counted only 1 view per IP

Before I found that every 24 hours, you could view a project and it would count as a new view.
