I don't think this was a problem in Opera until a few days ago, but I've noticed it has started there, too now. I honestly preferred it the other way, because it meant I could look at my post as many times as I wanted (I'm an obsessive proof-reader.) without affecting the count. So I wasn't inflating my view results if I looked at my posts every day -- or even several times a day.
There seems to be another bug in Steemit which breaks images that were fine when the piece was originally published, but suddenly the image is missing, and only the name of the image appears. By playing with this I've found it's actually a lot more complicated in ways I don't understand and won't try to explain here.
Sometimes exactly the same code works, and sometimes -- under different circumstances -- it doesn't. Again ... it's impossible to explain quickly what I've discovered about this. But I can make the very same picture appear and disappear -- until the post is too old to edit. And then it's broken forever. Which really annoys me, because I can't fix it so it will stay fixed. And I can't trust that just because it was right in the beginning that it will stay that way. So I've gotten pretty paranoid about checking my posts for as long as it's possible to get to them in the edit feature.
But, yes I would really like it if I could check my posts as often as I want and not affect the view count. That annoys me, too ... so @acidyo, if you have any influence over this, please continue to push or work on the issue. And thank you so much for this post noting that you and others are aware of it. (Makes me a little less crazy. Which, as you may be able to tell, is also a problem!! [smile] )
