I noticed if I view a discussion twice or have to refresh, the two wiews are recorded but later one is taken off. Even sometimes a discussion will show a few less visits in a few minutes than it did. Is that a correct observation?
It seems to me that only original visitors are counted in the long run. If you have visited a post before and the analytics comes back and says, you visited that post before, the second visit will be taken away from the count of views.
I observe the same. It would be nice to have it fixed, the described behavior is confusing and misleading.
