Every time I reload a page with question the counter "Seen" increments. That happens even when I logged in and even on my own questions. Is it a correct behavior? If so, then what a purpose of this?

Seems to be a straight way to make up question's rating

What version of Askbot are you running?

I am an end-user, but footnote says it's 0.7.43. Here, on askbot.org, it behaves as I described. Same for the answers.ros.org

I went ahead and re-tagged your question. This way, future visitors can still find this question useful (for example, if it is fixed in a future version, someone who hasn't upgraded yet can see that only the old version is affected).

@todofoxthis as you said, we should tag all bugs with askbot-version. This will be ease for others to identify and comment. Also tag as un-fixed-bug or Fixed-bug? May be adding this information in the title of the post too? Shall we go ahead and fix this format for all old, new posts? @Evgeny

IMO, views coming from the same IP should be treated unique.

It sounds reasonable, but looks like something is broken. Now it 24 views or so and in the next few minutes I will try to make it around 60 by simply clicking on the caption link.

Sorry, I was impatient so I did 1001 view :D

Boris ( 2012-09-06 20:49:30 -0500 )edit

looks you wrote a script to make it 1k? :D

pajju ( 2012-09-07 00:28:07 -0500 )edit

I was just clicking the caption for 5 minutes :) Does it work like this only for me?

Boris ( 2012-09-07 07:25:04 -0500 )edit

@Boris this is a bug. It should be fixed soon. :)
