'Views Count' in v 2.1

sudden156

I notice the number of views a thread has isn't working in my installation of version 2.1.

I have one thread started since the new installation that has 33 comments but only 1 view, which is obviously wrong

Other threads, when I look at them in a different signin, simply don't advance the displayed view count.

So, unless I can fix it, is there a way to turn off view count altogether?

good idea to read the comments in this discussion, it will help with other issues may have besides this one

in particular this thread for view count.

and more info if you need it.

or just search "View count" and you would find this often asked question as well

and if the above doesn't solve the problem (which it will if you can do it).

Hmmm, I tried adding

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

to my .htaccess and it made the site completely unavailable, so have removed it.

Will look a little more into the links you provide. Thanks

you may want to ask your host to allow it. if the host won't allow it you would get a 500 error.

or perhaps you have access to php.ini

if neither work, the plugin works as an alternative.

Your plugin works perfectly. You certainly have an eye for a needed plugin.
