[@Altered Tundra] It's not hard. The forum doesn't track it at all right now, though. But it's also harder than one might think.

For performance, you would probably append a row to a `topic_views` table on every topic view. And then at some interval (like once every 15 min) you would count the `topic_views` for each topic, update the `topics` table to add to the view count of each topic, and then delete the counted rows from `topic_views`.

[@Etcetera] Thanks. Yeah, for performance, there are always X posts per page of a topic, even if some of them are hidden.

However, as you found out, the bug is that a hidden post can overflow onto its own page. Since nobody can see the hidden post, you essentially have a blank page or an inaccessible one.

The quickfix is probably to redirect back a page if the current page has no hidden posts.
