(OP) User ID: 66199534 United States 12/23/2014 11:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nah man it really is another view. Quoting: Mister Obvious You're lucky to ever catch something around 0 or 1 views here... Unless you're ME. I tried it on completely dead threads that are over 5 years old...and I tried it on other forums. So it is kinda hard for me to brush it off as "just another view" by someone else...I am not talking about "new threads" but how the counter goes up twice each time I click on ANY thread. But thanks for the reply Last Edited by Wrath O' Luna on 12/23/2014 11:27 PM CRUX MEA LUX |

Quoting: Mister Obvious This is in the news today alone: Thread: New Samsung System Update Includes Malware "IMSLOGGER+" Have heard plenty of stuff about new iPhones too. Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it. I am taking it up to the IT guys at the police department where my father works, and I have my friend that is also gonna take a look at it. I suppose it is just weird feeling to think that I am being "watched" and actually having some sort of confirmation of it.... Last Edited by Wrath O' Luna on 12/23/2014 11:36 PM CRUX MEA LUX |

Everyone is being monitored. Please don't take this the wrong way, because I really appreciate your help... But are you double-counted when you go on a thread? If it is that prevalent, why have people not noticed it or brought it up? If the technology is in all new systems, it should be affecting more than just me (or a small handful of people) and other people would have seen it too...methinks it may be a different type of "bug" than the ones that come "standard" now in everything. Is it illogical to think that it may be different? CRUX MEA LUX |
