Topic views number decreased a lot after upgrade to IPS 4 because of ajax-pagination. In IPS 4 when you move through the pages of one topic, its views counter doesn't increase. Yes, there is some logic in such behavior, but in IPS 3, IPS 4 with disabled AJAX pagination and all other forum engines this counter works in the different way. It counts every page view.

Some of my users post advertising topics and they really care about the number of topic views. Now they complain that it's "about zero" and it harms their business. But I don't want to switch off AJAX pagination, because it's really useful.

I think, topic views counter should not depend on the AJAX pagination option and should work as before.

how do you disable/enable ajax pagination. Thanks

That's a theme setting in the ACP. Go to Customization and then Themes, click the edit button on your theme (the pencil icon), then go to the Custom tab where you'll find the option to disable AJAX pagination.

I wonder if 4.2 will help with this update included:

Adding <link rel="next" value="next page url"> helps search engines know next/previous page.

By the way, this problem has been resolved by the IPS team after my ticket.

can you share the solution .. ?? I also have the same problem

@motomac I also join the request.

After my request to the Support team they marked this as a bug and later fixed it. It was a long time ago, and as I remember it was really fixed at that time.
