I see. I also discovered that discourse does not count a link as visited when you right-click it to open in a new window. That explains for me now, people responding to a topic as if they had visited the link, but without really showing that as ‘visit-count’ sum.
Another annoying thing is, that every time I post here, I get the message,
“It could be better if you gave other people space to share their points of view, too.”
Really intimidating
