Revision history [back]

A short time ago I noticed inconsistent counting of site views. View count does not rise as long as you call your own request and there are no answers, otherwise each time you call a site the counter steps up, even if you visit your own requests, and even if you only refresh the site. Try for yourself.

I think that was different before, so that view count was a reliable indicator of how many people have seen a request and not of how often a site has been looked up (repeatedly). In case a request is only refreshed over and over again by a couple of visitors, this indicator gets completely irrelevant.

Is this by purpose or a bug?
