Attached I circled the view count. Not sure why I am not understood. Is it really hard to count every page refresh or visit? On my site I want every single visit counted by returning visitors every time the page is refreshed. That kind of mechanism keeps my site from looking dead and makes it more inviting for people to post. I visited and reloaded on this demo well over 10 times and it only counts my returning visit when I post. On the demo, I had before this one I revisited it overtime over three days and clicked and reloaded and it never counted any of my return visits.
BTW, this is the only thing keeping me from purchasing. I have other solutions that might not have all the addons and bells and whistles but it will count return visits as it should .
Well, you said "Forum view count" and that's a thread. So it's a reasonable clarification, really.
Thread views are counted, and it is not based on unique views. Each time you view the thread, it will log a view. If you refresh the page continuously even, it will log every single one of those views.
However, for performance reasons, the views are not applied straight away. The thread records are updated once every hour.
I think I've located the demo and I can see the view count has updated since your screenshot.
As I said before. I visited the old demo over 48 hours and there was no update. Show me it works, please. Also, my apologies for not communicating clearly and thinking you understand. Do you want the link to the demo? It's not counting and it's not updating. I have tried it multiple ways.
If you visit the thread a few more times, then go to Admin CP > Tools > Cron entries > and click the "Run now" icon next to the "Update view counters" entry, that will manually trigger the process which happens hourly and the views will update.

Thank you. My misunderstanding was that I thought the OP was talking about an independent demo he set up on his own hosting, not a version of the available xF demo we all know about. Confusion gone.
