Hi,
Whenever I edit a link text (not the link itself) the counter is reset to 0. Why is this happenning? Any way to keep the view count after an update of the description to a link?
Update:
I took some time to play around and this behavior is due to moderation of edits. When a link is updated and placed into moderation, when approved, it resets the view counter to "0". If you bypass moderation so allow editing without moderation, it does not delete the view counter back to 0 and keeps it's view count. Serious bug i'd say and could loose all view tracking on the links when doing a mass update like I just did (but i did have a backup).
