How many views?

I post photographs to the Gallery section every now and then, and I've noticed that a post will get either about a hundred views, or almost two thousand. Rarely is there a number in between, and I wonder why. Does it depend upon the time of day I post, or the day of the week? Is there some hidden variable that isn't obvious to me? Thanks for your response.

Much of the traffic comes from Daily Digest. Photo Gallery only has 35 spots in the Digest, but in busy months 100 (or more) topics may be posted to the site. If it makes the digest, and gets lots of comments through there, it might also make the UHH home page for a period of time - and that results in even more views!

Those of us with lots of time on our hands use "newest topics" (personalized by subscribing/unsubscribing to the specialty sections) or "newest pictures" and make our own choices

I would surmise that it would depend greatly on the posting title.
There are also probably different times when people in general view UHH at different rates.
If most people read in the morning and you post in the afternoon, you would miss the morning crowd that day but pick them up the next.

The administrator could probably get usage metrics from the server.

I find "Newest Topics" more helpful/useful than the digest to the point that I no longer subscribe to the digest.

None of the views are mine. I never go there.

I never subscribed 'til a couple of months ago; I was just curious why so many folks get in a "tizzy" when theirs doesn't arrive in their morning email. It's not like UHH isn't open for business 24/7
