About Rating/View Count.
Maintaining dynamic statistics on the site takes a lot of CPU, memory, storage (both hardware and software), and adds to the overall load. Also, we have been reluctant to make changes that might slow down page delivery. Over the past couple of months, we have been re-engineering and upgrading the site - hardware & software - so that much more dynamic statistics can be delivered without slowing down the site. With the latest changes, we have set the ground work for more sophistication by way of numbers and counts, without affecting site responsiveness.
The
...

nomenclature for the view count (as before) is "Rating/Number of Views". The view scheme was recently revised. Previously, only if a logged-in member explicitly rated/closed a blog post, the View count would increase.
Now, every time a particular blog post is "exposed" to a unique viewer, the view count increases. "Exposed" means either through the Main page, individual post, "My Posts", "Bookmark", etc. The blog entry might be displayed uniquely, or in a collection with others. The viewer might be anyone - guest, member or Admin. Simply hitting refresh does not increase the view count.
Also, please note the word "unique" - by IP Address. But this is "daily uniqueness". So, if the same viewer (same IP) views the same blog post tomorrow, then the View Count increases by 1. But, tomorrow, if he/she views it multiple times, then the View Count does not increase further.
Over the next few weeks/months, we shall be slowly evolving these statistics, based on feedback and usage. For example, sometimes, some Blog Entries get quickly pushed off the main page due to high traffic, quick archiving, etc. Such Blog Entries will have very low view count because of low exposure. We can therefore display the main page in alternative ways, so that Entries with low exposure are pushed to the top, to get a fair chance of getting answered.
Other ideas may come forward based on usage of these features.
Thanks.

You need to be an authoried irctc agent to register yourself here as agent!Re# 96271-26
as here many other agents are posted as "Active IRCTC Ticket Agents" so in my view the reply was not very bad.yes "agents in indiarailinfo" is a non existent entity but IRCTC authorized agents can enlist themselves as "Active IRCTC Ticket Agents".How ? moderator Sir or already active agents can give suitable reply.
Regards.

this upgradation/elevation, the site management is there to decide who will be Admin and who will cease to be admin. Please submit your querry as 'feedback' so that your message reaches to authorities and you get response.
second is: "... bt I want to help By Giving Correct Information on particular Query to Others" Does this mean 'you feel that you are not ablve to help others, when you are not an Amin? I fail to clarify further on your querry, except that 'please write positiviely, whatever knowledge you have, information you have' and you will get the result. 'Persistence is the Key'
