But there is one thing that really discourages me from posting here, say as
opposed to on Bricklink.
Often my posts are of such a detailed historic or obscure nature that I get
no replies to them. That in and of itself is not a big deal... but at least
on Bricklink I know that although no one has replied to my posts, the counter
there tells me that 138 folks have at least read my post.
Over here on LUGNET, I have no clue how many folks have read it, if at all,
and sometimes I feel as though they’re not being read at all.
That can be discouraging...

When I look on Bricklink and see the counter way up, I feel at least that it
was worthwhile to post the historic topic in the first place.

Hi Gary,
I take that as a valuable suggestion for what might be changed in the near
future, however it is somewhat difficult to tell how often a post has been read
as we have more ways to access posts than just the web. Still even after all
those years we do get a lot of visitors using the NNTP protocol (News Service)
and more readers follow their favorite groups through mail digests. Even if it
were feasible, it would mean a lot of effort to count all those readers in.
As for the web interface itself, tracking some sort of read count is something I
might include with one of the next maintenance runs. Virtually all “modern”
forums offer statistics of that kind from the start, so I wouldn’t want to stand
back.
If there are more features you feel you are missing here - please don’t hesitate
to let me know, otherwise I can’t work on them.
Regards,
Jerry

| Just a quick update: I've taken a little time and implemented a read-counter for web access to news posts. Now for display of individual articles you will find a new header line saying "Viewed: X times" - it should show the actual views of that (...) (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.general, FTX) !
