    How many times have you visited Clutchfans.net before today? You don't think you can figure that out?

    With FireFox, you can. :D

    Click "Tools" from the main menu, then select "Page Info". On the resulting dialog box, click "more" at the bottom. You'll see a "Privacy & History" section where there is a running count of "Have I visited this web site before today". Mine says "Yes, 5,458 times." What does yours say?

    Granted, this is only the count with the same browser (including previous versions capable of counting) on the same computer. I could just imagine the times I've visited CF.net at home and on my laptop, and at other places... maybe twice as many times as my counter says...

    Try it! Post your number here.

    Yes, 3814, your thread inspired mine... except mine doesn't need a formula :p

    OK I revise my statement in the other thread - you DO need a life!!!! :p (But I should probably step it up anyway)


    Mine only says 939. :( But I know for sure it's inaccurate because I've switched computers twice in the past 6 months - I've only been on this one for maybe a month. So those previous counts are completely lost.

    Well you have to take into consideration, that's over the full 2 year period and every time someone comes around the cubical I have to close the page so they don't see what I am looking at while I work. :)

    But yeah, I have to get a new job... this one is causing me to spend way to much time on the bbs.

    Mine says "No"... probably because I hit the privacy thing at the end of the day everyday.

    I clear mine out every time I close the browser here at work :eek:

    I'm kind of obsessive compulsive about it.

    I'm not sure I've ever done it at home, though.

    That is a good idea... privacy clearing daily may keep me from getting fired!

    There's a setting for that, or you do it manually? If there's a setting, tell me how!

    3,493 times.

    But I don't know how far back that goes. Can't be more than 2 months at the most.
