Often times with large boards updating the topic views can cause issues. Since the topics database table is accessed every time someone views a topic, it can put a strain on the table and lock queries as a result. Setting this option to <b>No</b> will update the views every 6 hours. While all views will be counted, the topic counter will not be updated right away to help reduce the chance of this table being locked.

<b>This setting is recommended for large/active boards.</b>
