Bug in the forums!
I'm not sure if this bug actually makes a difference if it's fixed, but in the forums, people can get more views on their topic by simply going to it and refreshing the page. For example, let's say I make a topic called "Try my new game!". Well when I go to that topic (the part where people can post comments) and just refresh the page, it increases the view count on it by 1. So if I go to it with say 17 views and click the refresh button about 30 or 40 times, the views would then be increased by that much. It's fast in terms of refreshing the page as well. So you could get those free views very quickly.

Re: Bug in the forums!
Views on the forums don't matter at all.
Lurking more than posting, but still here.

Nobody really cares about getting viewed topics. If this worked with projects, then there'd be a problem

Hehe, it actually used to be like that for projects, too. But that was very long ago. ^^
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline
