    I'm actually surprised I have any. I can't imagine why anyone would want to see my profile page...

    Need help to clarify, is it the number of times I have visited the forums or is it the number of times someone has visited my profile ?

    Too much complaining about meaningless crap on these forums to come here all the time.

    April 2014 and 2,948 visits. Kind of expected more.

    and a random image.

    Number of times you've visited the forum.

    I haven't been able to get my number to get up, in the last two days when visiting the forum, so im having doubts if it works as attended

    I think the system only counts visits if you are logged into the forums. When you browse without logging in, it does not know who you are to count the visit. I have been on the forums over 1000 times and my count is only at 67 on my profile page.

    edit, now I found out what determines the count

    you have to logout, and then login for it to raise :)

    I rarely logout of the forum, since its a private computer im using, I dont see the reason for it

    totally misleading number

    I think a "visit" is any time you have to enter your user ID and password, whether you log out, are logged out, or have never logged in with that browser.

    I have one browser open all the time, and it is logged into the forums and stays logged in for weeks, if not months. My visits count would be lower, but I also visit, on occasion, from tablets, phones, and other computers.

    I'm thinking perhaps some of us have this tracker blocked because of certain privacy settings maybe? I've been here waaaaaay more than 30 times.

    Edit: Actually just signed out and signed back in and went up to 31 so...

    I wonder how it keeps track/what it's actually keeping track of. I've got a browser window in the background that I use to bounce between several forums (ESO, STO, Battletech, etc) so I'm not surprised at the number, but I don't have to constantly 'log in'. They're all set to remember me. /shrug

    And a day later, I'm up to 3934. Hmm.

    No, it's definitely not log-ins. I am absolutely, 100 % positive that I have not logged in 1800 times in a year. Just go to your profile, wait a while (can't exactly tell you how long, yesterday when I tested it, it might have been 10 or 15 minutes or so) and then refresh the page. You'll see that the number will go up.

    Unless, of course, this is something weird on my end only, and it works differently for everybody else, but for me at least this is what happens.

    Should be tracked by days rather than how many times you exit out and re-enter.

    The number goes up whether you log out or don’t . I never logout. I’m sure it’s not accurate either or something is buggy with it because exited out earlier and came back with like 3-4 extra visits.

    well I have been here for 6 years, and only 206 visit, only way my number goes up and I tested it, is with me pressing the sign out button and then sign in again.

    Yeah that’s weird then. Especially since on this account I’m at 2,000 and never logout. I honestly always assumed it was profile visits.

    does your internet browser clear history, cache and do you need to sign in when you come to the forum? if thats the case your browser logs out for you.

    It keeps all of that , I use the forums on my phone browser. Only time I login is when the site logs me out randomly. The closest thing to signing out for me is closing the tab.
