stats and the arrow key

jpc

I have several galleries showing a single "view". If a user clicks a single pic to open it in light box and then "arrows" through the pics in the gallery, will each "arrow" count as a view, or only the initial click that opened the light box?

Answered my own question... the arrows do count. Bummer

Can't understand how that's a "bummer" - stats are meant to show you ALL photo views. Arrowing though the gallery in lightbox means people are viewing your photos.

It's a "bummer" because a single view means just that - a single view. The arrows do count, so if they had "arrowed-thru" multiple pics while in lightbox, it would show multiple views - not 1.

We show only views of each photo - when arrowing though we're not counting all those views on the first photo.

Yes, I get it. Every press of the arrow is another view. I'm looking at total views for the gallery and seeing 1. That means they looked at one and left the gallery, hence the "bummer".
