    How does vbulletin count "thread views"?

    is that the number of unique users that have read the thread?

    or

    is it the total views?....including multiple views by same users?

    I believe it is total number of view including multiple views by the same user. It just track how many views a topic has received

    Yeah, if one user views a thread 12 times then it counts as 12 views, its not unique, just plain views. I am 100% sure of it.

    Seems inaccurate to me at times; I've viewed a thread and went back and the number still said the same amount of views that were there previously.

    Because in most vBulletin forums, a cron job updates thread view after predetermined time (usually 30-60minutes). So a view that you have made, won't be visible till the next cron update.

    Yes, I agree with you.views thread count depends on the cron job. It is not automatically update.

    Not always.

    If the administrator has set the option in the adminCP for instant thread counter updates,
    then the changes will be visible immediately.

    But hardly you would see any admin do that;
    as instant updates for counters are server resource intensive.

    And yes, as said earlier, the 'thread views' are the total no. of views of that thread (guest views included)
