Gizmo -
I'm a bit confused. The update being done is updating the topics table and setting the topic_views value for an entire topic. So it's setting, for an entire topic, how many views have been triggered on it since its creation.
Why would the overall master topic_views value be changed based on whether someone wanted to see their personal count of unread topics? I would think it should only ever be incremented if someone specifically went in to view that topic.
