I've noticed a few times now, when I've made a new thread, within literally a 1 second page refresh it has 2-3 views.
I know the mods here are fast but cmon and I cant think anyone would have viewed it withing a second, despite the large userbase.
From sheer curiosity what happens? Are the views like auto views from the website or?

Big Dakka’s got it’s eye on you Ratius.

Ever watching, never sleeping...

Would it not be your view when you first submit it?

Been a while since I've submitted a thread but I remember the page loading up to show my newly submitted thread..

Nah, it always has at least 2-3 views. Mine might count as one but not all 3.
The mystery continues.....

Probably someone(s) grabbing the RSS feed view of new threads automatically at that moment in time.

Mystery solved!

It has nothing to do with you being on The List.

At least, I don't think you are...

...I'll have to check.
