Am I missing something, is there away to see how many people have viewed a thread not replied to it, thanks.
~ I actually think its good that you can't see how many views.
Other forums had an issue (especially in competition threads/wip threads) where people would pretty much ignore a thread if it didnt have a bajillion views.
It totally sucked for the people who weren't necessarily rockstar artists yet as they would go completely unnoticed and were often overlooked.

if people aren't replying, tuck in the chin and keep on truckin'. threads get overlooked all-the-time.
case in point, the brawl entries span 21 pages and i know i've only been ABLE to look at a third of them.
most importantly, don't take it personally. become your harshest critic and always one up the last piece of art you made.
We have deliberately removed the option to avoid the CG**** vibe, where you're only as popular as your page views, and people are only looking at threads with high page views.
Oh hear me out, I started this thread mostly out of curiosity and not out of a lack of reply's on any of my posts. I do agree I love the way polycount just shows the replies on a thread, but sometimes I just find it interesting to see the traffic and was wondering if it was tucked away somewhere. thanks

well, instead of the view count now it is the reply count. so might as well remove the reply count and the page numbers too.
To answer your question: it is possible, yes. In the "Last Post" column, mouse over the thread in question's Date and latest poster to get a Reply + View count.
Page views is there. You just need to look harder.
One thing i'd like in threads though. I wish it was possible to only get a highlighted thread when the OP updates the thread and not every time someone posts. Would come in handy when Slipgate posts in his Brawl thread, so I don't have to keep going there every time a "minion" posts thinking i've missed something.

Yes and while we're at it we can remove the text and interface.
Point being, views is just one of those ego-inflating stats, and we don't really see it as critical information. Reply count and page views are different.
