It's possible it broke with alpha 6. Many of my plugins only work until alpha 5 because they kept changing things with every update.

I did change the code. Also tried echo $forum->views; as the readme suggests.... I'm on Alpha 6 so that we're ok with buddypress, so maybe that's the issue.... thanks for your help.

Did you change the code as I showed above in your template? Note this will probably not work with 1.0 RC

I used the code, turned on the my views plugin and the most/least views modules for posts and topics (just to be safe) and I'm getting a 0 for a views on front page topics.... any other steps I'm missing? I'm at leadpress.com/forums/ for whatever it's worth...

It's a little messy but to do that you need the My Views "most/least views" module installed and then you need to use in your template: <pre><code><td class="num"><?php echo bb_number_format_i18n($GLOBALS['forum']->views); ?></td></code></pre>

I'm using the show topic views and it works great. I'm trying to show front page "Forum Views" like those implemented on bbshowcase, but the same number appears on each forum, I'm using: show_view_count(); maybe I need a different tag when trying to show forum counts as opposed to topic counts or maybe it's another plugin altogether? Any feedback appreciated!
