Silly question......one of my images yesterday had no views.  Today it is currently at 128 views.  Now it is by no means that special of an image, a simple portrait of a lovely girl.  I am very curious as to how it became so popular?  Is there any way someone could put a link to a particular image posted here?   Any insight to this would be great.  Thanks!

That's very strange Chip...

It is easy enough to link directly to the image itself, however unless someone views the page that the image is on it's not considered a view (in my experience...Tyler may know better)

so if someone goes here: https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … 11f1ab7a8e

It's counted as a view...if someone links to here: https://img1.modelmayhem.com/060120/11/ … ab7a8e.jpg

It's not counted as a view...

one person can increase the views of a pic just by refreshing the window over and over...not sure why they would, but you can.

Yeah, i know it can be done but I haven't done it.  I just want to make sure that the image is not being used elsewhere.  Seems silly why such a simple photo would be so popular.

Considering your overall port, that is odd.  It would be great if we could "see" who has accessed our site. 
I have that ability at the office for my business site but MM is broken down so far in individual ports that I don't know if it would be possible.
