    The problem with the visitor system is not that the count may or may not be restarted when an item is restarted or not.

    In my view a far worse problem is the fact that a member can add to the count by "working" the item. If a seller wants to leave the impression that his item(s) have many visits, all he has to do is to use a bit of time to look at and leave the item(s) repeatedly. 1 visitor should be counted only once at each item.

    And in my view the count should continue uninterupted as long as an item is up for sale.

    Kind regards

    Oops - a bit fast on the pen there. I tested this again and it looks like I may have goofed when I say it's possible to "work" an item. Although I'm not quite sure as I don't really understand how the counting works. When I look at an item with 0 visits it ought to show at least 1 visitor when I look at it again some minutes later - but it still shows 0. Does the count update only periodically, not continuosly??

    Kind regards

    Well, testing even more and it turns out I was right after all. As pointed out by several members there must be a delay in updating of the visitors count. "Working" one of my own items I was able to increase visitors from 4 to 22 in the matter of minutes - although it took some time before the count showed up.

    I also "worked" a couple of items belonging to others a few times and the same happened. Which means the system can be corrupted as a matter of friendly assistance as well.

    The Delcampe team should do something about this asap. I, for one, want to see a count showing number of different members interested in my items - not a count showing number of clicks.
