Mannify Report post Posted June 29, 2012 It's weird how many views a post gets compared to replies. That's it, really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A-S warrior Report post Posted June 29, 2012 sometimes the topic sucks and nobody cares about it. ive posted a few myself while bored at 4am. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Well, yeah, but they still 'view' it, so it must have some allure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynden Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Sometimes people might read something but not be able to answer any questions or offer any suggestions, therefore might not reply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert7111a Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Lynden beat me to it! AS is a diverse condition with individuals at different places upon the spectrum. Sometimes a post is not interesting, some might be difficult to answer for some individuals. Generally I will only answer a post where I feel I have appropriate knowledge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted June 29, 2012 I'm sure you're both right, but I also think it's the first forum I've come across which logs views and it's a slightly odd thing to get used to, lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted June 29, 2012 It's even weirder on some posts that get like a hundred views and only 1 or 2 replies it has happened!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Well, yeah, I mean it can feed into one's paranoia a bit. I'm sure I can't be the only one who feels a little naked over the whole 'view' thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted June 29, 2012 I don't even look at it when I post something - but technically there's several reasons - some of which have been speculated already - but if you think about it, if just one person checks every time someone posts something there could be several from that one person alone. There's often more guests than logged in members, so that could account for some of the views too... Plus I suppose there's some logic in the fact that the more people who read it, the more likely you are to get a reply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeolienne Report post Posted June 30, 2012 I've often found myself glancing at a topic simply as a result of having clicked "next unread topic", only to find it doesn't interest me any further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted June 30, 2012 I've never pressed that button - I like to torture myself by manually checking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
