What Is Topic Visits:

   Topic Visits is a method of logging and reporting uniques visits to your topic pages.

How It Works:

   The Topic Visits Logger works by placing the board, topic, member id, IP, date and timestamp of a visitor into a table with a unique key. The number of unique topic visits for the current day will be reported by selected dates that are available in the table. There is also a Downloads stat that can be used in the same fashion. The stats will be displayed in the Statistic Center "[More Stats]" section located on the home page.

Uses:

   Monitor which pages are visited the most.

Limitations:

   None.
