All depends on the replies the post gets too N. With the current view set up (which isn't changing) it does a whole combination of views rather than individual post views.

So if someone is to read the TAS post and then no replies there is no reason to go and view that thread again. So you could say a post with no replies were all individual readers. But in the EDE forum, members initially read the first post and lets say between the original and someone posting a reply 100 members view it, those 100 will need to access the thread again which adds a further 100 views. But in the scheme of things they have added 200 views.

Even though a thread might have 500 views, it may have only been seen by 50 individuals if there is a few replied posts.

Much different to the old viewing system (which most prefer), but with the current system that can not be duplicated.
