view counter not incrementing

I have posted the following project few days back: See http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/geogirl/2000634. I know that atleast 10 different people have viewed it - but the total views are stuck at 5.  They all had viewed it from their own accounts.

Does it count as a view only when its viewed by people who logged in?

Re: view counter not incrementing

I took a quick look at the underlying code and I *think* it should count people 'per IP address'. That is an address computers have on the Internet (it could look like 123.456.7.8). So it should count also when not logged in.

It could be that some people watched your project from inside the same company: a company usually has only one IP address to the outside world.

Re: view counter not incrementing

Thanks JSO. Yes many of them were from the same company so probably had same ip address. That could explain it. Thanks. We can close this post.
