There should be a "veiwed" section in all the forums, for an example currently there is:

Topic | Topic Starter | Replies | Last Post

So I thought how about this:

Topic| Topic Starter| Replies | Viewed | Last Post

It may sound kind of useless but say if someone posted a poem and he/she comes back to read the replies and sees that he/she only got 6 replies which may make him/her a little disappointed, but then they see that his/her post was viewed 15 times which means that 15 people read the poem but only 6 poeple decided to reply because either the other 7 didn't have the time to reply or they didn't enjoy the poem but didn't want to reply with something mean. Sure replies can be very nice and heart warming but it would also be nice to see how many poeple clicked on your poem to read it.

Interesting idea. There a a few poems to which, for various reasons, I do not respond. Some I like and some I don't. anyway, sometimes I just can't say what I want, or the words don't flow, or I can't say something good about the work.

I don't know if it would be good or not, or even if it would be feasible, but it is certainly a question worth asking.

But would feelings be hurt if you get one reply and find out it was viewed 20 times?

Maybe, it depends for some people I guess. But I don't think I have ever seen a poem posted with only 1 reply

but will it get demoralising(especially when you are a newcomer) when you see your poem having 20 views and other poems hitting 40 or 60 hits?
