I have asked the same publicly, but no reply. I guess there is a hidden count, and it would make sense to show it. Can that be done? Guess one wouldnt need a TB recommendation to implement what is the standard on FT (if technically possible).

How about me? I voted for you, hence proving that I am not an informed voter.

I am unaware of any ability to find the thread count for those viewing candidates' platforms.

Please clarify the request:

1) This is a one time request to get a post-count for everyone on the ballot?

2) OR is this a request to modify the voting program to display post-count next to ballot name.

I think most would mean 2), however IMO 1) would work fine for evaluation purposes post-election. Should then be platform view count when voting close I presume.

Thanks for dropping by^

ETA: My reply was nonsense. See CD below!

I believe they want to see how many people have viewed each individual platform. I remarked upthread that it was discouraging to see the view count for threads in the debate forum. That started the discussion as to whether view counts are higher for the individual platform statements.

Thats the one. Disregard my rambling misinterpretation of the question above

I am sorry to say there has been a failure to communicate. I'm sorry that this has caused you unnecessary work. Candidates are curious as to how many have looked at their platforms, not how many posts they each individually have on FT. For example, threads in the debate forum only got around 300 views each. They are curious as to whether their profiles get a higher view count. How are people forming their impressions of the candidates? Not many are reading the debate threads. Are they reading their platforms? Or is it primarily name recognition from their ongoing participation throughout FlyerTalk?

You misunderstood the request and CD's clarification.

It's NOT about post count. It's about number of views on candidates' platforms. We have 28 candidates this year. For example, how many views are there for this following candidate? Can IB provide the number?

Well, it was interesting to see there is a candidate with exactly 1 (one) post.

I guess that puts to rest the discussion we've had in the past of whether TB candidates should be CC / OMNI qualified.

Thanks
When I click on this now, the candidates are no longer listed in alphabetical order by username, as they were before. Why was the display shuffled around in this way?
