Not a problem, just a query... What criteria need to be met for a pic (or gallery) to register a hit count? I have a gallery with counting enabled and it might say 250 views but from my website logs, I know that front page has been downloaded nearly 1000 times. Same goes for pics, it might show total 300 but I can see form the logs that the page and image have been requested over a thousand in the last week...? Thanks. |

Gallery registers hits to the page, not to the image itself. If someone is hotlinking a particular .jpg or .gif file, this will not show up as a click. |

Thanks for that but how would that account for Quote:
it might say 250 views but from my website logs, I know that front page has been downloaded nearly 1000 times If someone enters the site at an album does that count? I have a large number of entry pages to the album which is much larger than the counter currently stands at for that album...? |

It depends what you're talking about. If someone views albums.php, the counters will not be updated. If they view /gallery/somealbumname, then the counter should be updated for that album. |
