Why is there a maximum number of views being shown in this forum?
It is 32767, check out several webbed topics, they have all 32767 views...

    That number is the highest integer value in certain programming languages, in this case PHP. Max views is an integer variable, and it cant get any higher without changing the variable type.

    I think 32767 is max amount of hits in a Combo you can get in SSB:M until it stops recording.

    yes they couldn't hire 16 bits so they only hired one bit that used the other 15 as slaves to help him in counting the number of posts.

    PHP is not a language, just a forum code, but I get your point <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Anyway, quite stupid to use an integer in this case, isn't it?

    Which means its actually 15 bit, which is stupid! <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Thats beacuse its a signed value, which allows negative numbers. If the the most significant bit (the last bit) is 1, the value is negative.

    PHP is a web programming language. It isn't ONLY used to make forums. Thats just the application here.

    It seems kind of silly for Invision to use a signed variable for forum counts. It's not like you're going to have -426 reads of a thread. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think we should make up a 32767 bit word and see what a computer does when you feed it the word <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
