are the # of views per thread turned off or is it just me?

answer damn it!

this isn't a hard question ... why doesn't this forum let you see how many times a thread has been viewed

First of all why do you care so much?

Second, the views were disabled so that the server would run faster. When the views were turned on months ago, everytime you clicked on a forum, it took a lot of bandwidth up because the database keeps track of the has to keep counting everytime someone loads the forum. Keeping track of the views is very CPU intensive. Therefore, it was turned off so the website would run faster.

LS400 GOD, thanks for your answer I was wondering too :P

so the server sucks or just doesn't have a lot of bandwidth

In short,

Yes, the server does suck. The views were disabled because our server simply couldn't handle everything. But I'm in the process of negotiating and having a much more powerful server.

Finding a hosting center, figuring out what kind of configuration isn't as easy as it sounds. I have to make sure these kind of problems won't occur in the near future (3 months).

However, I don't exactly have $100,000/month to spend. So I'm on a tight budget. I have to make sure I know exactly what I want. Do cost/benefit analysis. I have to ask around. Get price quotes. Check out the hosting centers themselves if they are local, and etc.

Put the number of views back ONLY when I sort by number of views?

So when I sort by the number of views what sort basis is actually used?
