I have an idea about being able to see who viewed , or downloaded your project even though this might already have a topic.

Re: Views

That would be interesting...

Although, some projects get thousands of views, so it could slow the server down quite a bit when tracking all that.

Re: Views

What about people who don't have an account, but view projects?  hmm  I guess you could put "X people who weren't logged in viewed this project"... it would be nice to see a breakdown of how many people were logged in, and how many people were not logged in when they viewed the project...  smile

Do non-logged in views even count towards the total? I'm not sure they do...

I thought they did...  hmm  Providing someone hasn't viewed the project in question from the same IP prior to the unlogged in viewing, I think it would count it...

Re: Views

I think views are already tracked in the database...

A single user can only increment the view count of a project once.
It would probably be easy to add a page/display of who visited projects... and would't likely bog down the server much. ( especially if it has a pager: 1, 2, 3, next page)

But how would that help us?

We used to be able to see who downloaded.

Re: Views

I think the main issue is privacy - people deserve to have privacy and not show that they saw a person's project or not  smile .

Why would someone care if you know they viewed your project? Ashamed of looking at an animation?  roll
