nova Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Someone is messing around with the number of "views" of the pics in the "most views" section. This has been going on for a while now. It started as just a few numbers and now it's up to 100's of views at a time. The pics are jumping around like fleas on a hot rock. The pic of my "Grumpys" just jumped almost 300 views overnight. I don't care about the reasons someone might be doing this but I wish they would stop doing it. This site is about friendship and sharing as far as I'm concerned. If I was a "newbie" thinking of joining TU and I saw this going on, I would be thinking twice about joining. So; come on guys; park your egos at the door; and let's get on with doing what we are here for. If you can't do that, then you have to ask yourself what the heck are you doing here, as you certainly are not helping yourself or anyone else. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have to confess, I've never looked at the gallery or knew we could upload pics. You guys have some cool stuff on there. Nice work guys. maybe one day I can pour something worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooksLikeSinbad Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 FYI, it could be one of the search engines' (google, yahoo, etc.) automated robots hitting the page, not an actual human/member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I don't think that is the case here. If it was why are only a selected few pics getting hit? Besides, since this post the hits have returned to "normal". www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hits/most views mean nothing other than someone opened that particular page. it has nothing to do with anything else. it could be a lot of things like someone posts the link on another website and it got looked at by that website and maybe a few mores websites. some one couldnt get it to load and hit refresh a few million times. robots spiders and search bots. ( more thna likely what happened the only way to make the number go back is to manually edit it, as it will always go foward never backwards. depnding on how the software has the hits updated you could have saw it one time then it updated.
