Do Non-User Views Count?
Like, do views from non-users count?

I think they do... but I'm not sure...

Re: Do Non-User Views Count?
It should but the question is: Is there a limit on the amount of times that the amount of views can be bumped by someone that isn't logged in?
This is just something I was wondering so there is no hurry!

It would be really easy to sabotage the front page if they did count.
Oooh, conspiracy theory about the front page 
I'd think it does, but I guess only the Scratch team can truly answer that.

It seems there isn't any protection against offline view bumping. But, there seems to be a timeout so I think there is protection against what I asked somewhat.

Re: Do Non-User Views Count?
I'm pretty sure that it adds one unique view per IP/user. Or maybe it's per IP, I don't know for sure.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

That's my guess. A lot of sites that allow you to rank content use that sort of system now.

Re: Do Non-User Views Count?
I am almost positive they don't.
But, I could be wrong.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Do Non-User Views Count?
yeah sometimes I get tons of views but hardly any comments or love-its. Maybe it's from non-users views.
