	Does the 'Views' count include robots? We want the search engines to be able to index our public pages - but does this then over estimate the number of actual views?

	It should do, as "Views" is every time the page is loaded, this will also include if you move through the pages (eg page 1, 2, 3, 4 of a thread will add 4 views) and more if you reply or edit a post

	So is there any way to get the actual human visits to a topic? Edited by Dave Evans - 08 November 2007 at 1:09pm

	You "could" edit the page so that if doesnt add views if the OS is "Search Robot". But i havent got the forum pages with me to check properly, but i suspect it would be relatively easy.
