I decided to head out early on Sunday 21 June,apologise for no rail programme info on this date.
Its surprising how long it takes me to put the rail programme info together each day,nearly two hours.
Scrolling through the freeview guide,takes approx an hour,
and then the typing and getting the series and episode guide correct with the help of the Sky and freeview guides takes another hour.
So I will continue up to and include the Sunday 5th July 2020,as by this time I think we will be able to get out and about more than we have been able too recently.
One very small point about the amount of views each posting I have made.
Most postings I have made have reach nearly 100,I think thats a fair number.
What I have noticed is that on every occasion that the same person comes back to look at the same posting it counts as a "view"
The reason I raise the above point is that going back a little while ago e-bay changed their viewing system.
If the same person came back to look at the item they were selling,they would keep clicking the same posting and it pushed up the those "viewing" the item.
Grahame not sure if the forum could have a similar system installed.
Infoman, I (for one) and many more appreciate the time it takes to do things like this and the time you have put in - another 2 weeks, to the time we expect much to re-open - looks to be an utterly sensible cut off. I am looking forward to being able to see if I can find a train with social distance (be that 2 metres, pi/2 metres or 1 metre) fairly soon, and I suspect others will be moving out of this current phase too.
It's great, been especially so, but I think I and others have probably seen most of the repeats by now. Hopefully they'll have made some more by the time Covid-37 comes around - Michael Portillo visits St Andrews Road and Shirehampton, and Jeremy Corbyn finds a seat because people haven't flocked back to the trains, perhaps.
Forum stats ... and "number of reads". The number ticks up at each view, so I believe it can be pumped up by one visitor, and 100 views might be less people. HOWEVER - and especially the case with threads of immediate information such as these, a "view" is NOT recorded when they come up easy on in someone's "recent" feed and across the forum as a whole that's used over 1000 times on a typical day. Once a thread is followed up and people start accessing it to read the whole thread, the number can increase very quickly.
That's a long answer on forum stats, I'm afraid. Looking back at yesterday's 81 so far - purely a guess - I would thing 50 to 60 different IPs, and another 40 or so via "recents". Of the latter, perhaps a half would scroll past rapidly and half the remainder would stop briefly, the final quarter doing a thorough read. Of the specific clicks on the thread, perhaps half doing an intense look (going there to read) with the others being crawlers.
Of course, if someone reads the thread and then watches a program with their SO, that's someone else reached.
