I communicated with admin about this refresh thing, screen goes blank (all white) and it was a technical issue that went on for over 2 weeks, but as of yesterday it appears fixed and I let admin know.

Based on my exchange with them, the refresh does not add a board view.

The views are added each time you click next to read a newer post.

50 people reading 35 posts = 1,750 views.

At any rate, to be in the top 10, many eyes paying attention.

One does not even need an account, just read and the views are added.

iHub is ditto for this.
