Hi,

I noticed, that the view count counts up everytime I go in and out of a topic. Is there a way to have it only count each view per visitor only once (or per IP address)?? Otherwise I can create Hot Topics just by going in and out of a topic (which shouldn't be).

Help is appreciated.

This would require storing allot of extra data in the database to store IP addresses, which in turn would slow down performance.
