XF 1.4 How do I change the setting of the view times for a post?

[liv4spd]

I have a new forum, and want to give my users an impression that the posts are not that poorly viewed

How do I change the setting so that the view times will accumulate, no matter the click is from a same registered member, a same computer, or a same IP address?

Thank you.

There is no duplicate view count "skipping". Every time a thread is viewed, it will be logged and periodically updated.

Thanks, but I just tested it again. The count number won't increase at all, by opening and closing the post multiple times myself.

It updates via a cron task.

I opened the post, wait 20 seconds on the page, and come back to check the view times, it never changed.

Thank you for the picture.

Sorry but would you mind to elaborate on this? I have no idea what cron task is.

They are scheduled tasks that run every so often (e.g., every hour).

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Anyone knows why they do it this way? I used to have phpbb. It updates instantly.

It's much more efficient to batch these updates together.
