"Hit" count in thread overview ?

[Benni]

Hi PH ,

when I open a sub-forum in PH,
the top line reads "topic, author, posts,last post, last contributor"
Would it be possible to add the number of "hits" the threads have got ?
This could show how many readers have been interested in this thread,
even without posting themselves.
( or just tried to find out what the thread really was about,
which is sometimes not clearly defined in by the thread topic ? )
I searched but found nothing, so apologies if this has been discussed before.
Cheers,
Benni
P.S.:

hi, we currently do not monitor how many times an individual thread is read. This is based on the speed of the servers as it would require a lot of updates. Since launching a new solution last week to improve things it is possible for us to look back into providing this functionality. Though it will take some time to test its performance impact

I have added it to our future ideas plan and will look into it

All ideas greatly welcomed.
