The Framers Forum

Not an issue - just an observation.

Look at the amount of views per topic, it's gone a bit mad! The latest one, started less than 5 hours ago already has over 500!

where does one see the views for each topic?

Look at any of the forums main pages, or “active topics” from the menu top left.

If using phone it needs to be landscape.

There are only 7000 members so I doubt 2000 of them have seen this topic in 24 hours.
Some topics must be showing up on a search engine and then registering as a view even if not relevant to the original search.
If you look at members only posts the views are only in the hundreds even for popular topics.

I’ve double checked with John and its nothing nefarious going on. As suggested, likely something is just ticking up “views” due to a search engine.

Probably something to do with recent upgrade. No big deal unless anyone wanted to see how much engagement any particular thread (outside of members only) has, which I suppose is what the feature is for.
