It should be like that since it should be unique views only and it totally messes up the view count.
Thanks.

As long as you view something it counts as a view. Even clicks work like this. If you click on a link twice it counts for 2 clicks. Same thing for the views.

This happens on Youtiube, our forums, and forums that I am a member of that is not hosted by Forumotion.

@Luffy , is there is any code you know of that can make it so only the first view by a user to a topic counts?
Edit: Yes it does do it here too. I just tested it. I went to other problems to see how many views it had and then checked to make sure no one was viewing the section, therefore no one would be able to look at this topic at the same time, then I clicked on this topic, let it load, refreshed and then checked again and sure enough it went up two views. I did this two times just now and each time it did the same thing. I believe it is not 'fixed' here and does the same thing as your forum and every other forumotion forum does.
