I'm not sure what other behaviour you are expecting. If you hit Ctrl+F5 you are forcing a non-cached refresh which means the question has been viewed again. It's "View count" not "members-who-have-read-this count".

Latter would be good. Or something like view would be counted only if the window was re-opened. Because I tend to get desperate for new replies on some posts. Hence me doing Ctrl + F5 a lot will boost the view count. Although that will not be actual.
Just a suggestion from my side. 
PS: Anyways, I am not sure one can differentiate between Ctrl + F5 and new window through code.

I agree uniques vs views would be more accurate, but do the benefits of, what is really just a guideline value anyway, warrant the plumbing and data storage requirements?
My vote is that it's good enough for the purpose it serves.

When attempting to post suggested code changes to an article that involved emitting javascript code I found that the only way I could get the code I wrote included in my reply was to turn on do not interpret and not surround the code with a code block. It appeared from what was not shown that some of my code[^] was being seen as an attempt to inject malevolent code - or am I just doing something wrong?

If you try and insert "<script" directly then the system sees you trying to insert a literal HTML SCRIPT block into the forum which is a no-no.
You need to HTML-encode the <script part so that, in the editor, you end up entering "<script".
When you paste code into the editor, and you have "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checked then this encoding is done automatically. If you don't have this checked, or you type the code directly, then you either need to HTML encode (to ensure you're not entering literal HTML) or check the "Do not interpret HTML tags" so the system will HTML encode automatically.

I edited your question for you so it now sparkles.
(but seriously: what would make this more intuitive for you? Can you walk me through your perfect scenario?)

Are you trying to increase your rep?

Excellent Question. I think what would be ideal for me would be to have the
<pre> tags signal that anything in between should be encoded.
Otherwise you can end up with something like the above, all to get the tag to show up.

No rep from fixing forum postings 
If we auto-encode stuff within pre tags then it means you can't use HTML within those tags so you can't highlight or make bold parts of the code.

On clicking on that link in my profile page, I get to see the page stating "No entries found". Although I have posted a couple of times there. Here is one link[^].

Sorry, we haven't implemented the ability to view answers on that page yet. The count you see on your profile page correctly counts both questions and answers but the link redirects you to a view only diplaying your questions. We'll try to get this fixed soon.

FYI, I still can't see a count on my page or d@nish's page.
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

Just an update... the situation has changed, but still not fixed. Now, the text is "Questions & Answers" and says "0" to the right of it. Although when I click it, it shows the 2 questions I've posted (but still none of the answers).

I noticed that "Minor Change" checkbox (as displayed when modifying an answer) has an ellipsis to the right of it that, when moused over, has a short description of what a minor change is and that, when clicked, links to the section of the FAQ that describes minor changes in more detail. That this ellipsis has any functionality associated with it is not obvious at all. Might want to use a question mark icon instead (or something like that). Or, you could do something like the following:
[ ] Minor Change (<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/FAQ.aspx#minorchanges">info</a>)
When moused over, it would give the same info as the ellipsis currently does in addition to saying something like "Click for more information."
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

You're right. An ellipsis isn't the best choice there. Thanks for the suggestion!

I posted the following text into an answer:
The line that says:
<pre>scanf("%i\n",&value);</pre>
Should say:
<pre>scanf("%i",&value);</pre>
However, when I clicked the preview tab, the "\n" was gone and a line break was in its place. It looked fine though after I posted it.
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

There shouldn't be any descrepancy between the preview and actual view. Will take a closer look at this.

I've tried using the Movie insert feature of the article editor, and it inserts a tag but nothing shows up.
I have tried using these two as source:
http://silverlight.services.live.com/invoke/109645/Calcium%20Getting%20Started/iframe.html as an iframe,
and here: http://silverlight.services.live.com/109645/Calcium%20Getting%20Started/video.wmv as a wmv.
