Re: Views Counter

Short version:
- There is a view counter
- It's currently off because it imposes significant server load, given it has to store a counter update every time somebody looks at something and also then query those same counters. Honestly it's not the humans - it's the ill-behaved web crawlers that are loading multiple pages per second.
- The server we're currently on is old and overloaded. For now I've been moving other websites and things off of this box to give NGDF more breathing room.
- As soon as I get time to move NGDF to a new box with more resources, I'll turn them back on. No, I don't know when that will be, because the underlying phorum software has some issues with going to a new version of PHP, which means it's going to be a fun few weeks of debugging problems and changing code. I'd hoped to get it done this summer, but unfortunately have been working my ass off and not a lot of time to devote to NGDF aside from making sure the board is up and running.
