allow guests to increment topic view counts

[andreadragotta]

Hello everyone!

With my team we've found a curious bug.

The views are unique and only for logged in users.

I think that views shouldn't be unique and have to count all users, not only the logged in.

What do you think about that?

Will make this an option in the ACP so guests count towards views.

Ok, and for the unique view?
On ACP can set it or change the counting method?

[barisusakli]

They are not unique, they only increment once per hour so you can't keep reloading the page and increment views. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/controllers/topics.js#L132

Sounds like we should also make that time limit configurable.

Thank you @barisusakli
I think is interesting set the time limit configurable as @pitaj wrote
