How will I know how many members have viewed a thread and a post?One would question why you wanted to know that in the first place; usually the people who are actually interested in a thread are the ones who post in it as well. Since only members can post, you can get a pretty good idea about who has viewed a thread by the posts and kudos that are in it.
Answer: I can't.
That's my point.
We aren't going to change it; not because it would be too hard, but because it would be a strain on resources and ultimately pointless (i.e. there is really no benefit from it). To do it we'd have to track every member who has gone to the thread, check whether they have visited before, and if not, add a new row to some table in the database, and we'd have to do that for every member, for every thread. I don't want to do the math, but it's a lot of overhead for the simple act of giving you a single number.
