We have 3 basic columns in "threaded" and 4 columns in "boarded". I think there's enough room for another column in both formats and we can call it "Views. This would indicate how many clicks that particular thread received (in board format) and how many that particular threaded response got in thread mode. In case anyone was wondering how to switch from thread to board... just follow the path...

Control Center, Options, Forum Settings, Message list display options, "One entry per topic"
This gives me what I've been calling a "Flat" view.

The suggestion is when viewing in flat, there are 4 basic columns: Subject, Posts, Started by, Last post.

The new column, "Views" would fit right in and would indicate the number of clicks it received kind of like the board style had on the old version of the forum (pre flash).

So the columns would then be: Subject, Views, Posts, Started by, Last post.

With Threaded style, there are only 3 columns: Subject, Written by, Posted. Why not add "Views" to that as well?
