    When I look on the main page it tends to say 300+, 400+ 500+ people online on this site at a time. Great. Issue is, then you look in various sections on the site and a lot of topics haven't had many new reads for ages; doesn't add up, unless there are a lot of people who just log in, don't look at any pages and stay on for days at a time.

    Am I the only one to notice this?? Surely if you have masses of people on a forum you have masses of page viewings, articles and posts?

    Various search engine bots can screw up the numbers too.

    Non-register "unregistered" has no user class so the thread won't register a view unless user is registered.

    I'm pretty sure that the Views column isn't working, at least when looking at the 'New Posts' list. For most entries it seems to be replies + 1.
