hi seb and pascal,
a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away, no not really, but a long time ago i did ask about the visitor counter being revised. the problem with it is that it is not accurate. it only shows the total number of visits per auction but not when. the counter does not reset at every new cycle whether it is weekly, monthly, or whatever. can this be remedied?
merci et a bientot,

The problem with the visitor system is not that the count may or may not be restarted when an item is restarted or not.
In my view a far worse problem is the fact that a member can add to the count by "working" the item. If a seller wants to leave the impression that his item(s) have many visits, all he has to do is to use a bit of time to look at and leave the item(s) repeatedly. 1 visitor should be counted only once at each item.
And in my view the count should continue uninterupted as long as an item is up for sale.

bonjour olave,
this is exactly the problem and as a result, delcampe has suggested new and possibly harmful suggestions (see this):
