Totally normal behaviour, and nothing anyone can change. The system here (or on any other site) does not say 'hang on, this computer has already got the page open, I better not change the view count', it merely records another received request.</P> Fri, 22 Sep 2017 17:37:08 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/Community-Site-Feedback/The-number-of-topic-views-is-wrong/m-p/1479690#M13461 jab1 2017-09-22T17:37:08Z
