Ok so I almost always browse the web in multiple tabs. PC is no exception. So my question comes from how the home page works. It shows all the threads and the number of users viewing the threads. When tab browsing do I count as multiple people viewing or does only one get counted?

EX: If I have one tab open in "Community Announcements" and another in "Community Questions & Feedback" do they both gain one more viewer? Or just one of the two?

I think it refers to the last tab that you created/refreshed, regardless of how many window are open. My justification is that this is what happens on your profile; rather than listing all of your tabs' activities, it lists your latest.

So if you visited the Announcements Section last, that should be the one with the "one member viewing" bit.

I have wondered this before myself, and am interested in hearing the answer.

This is correct.

In my experience, that won't happen often. Now, if a dozen people each open around five tabs at the same time, then yes, it'll hit the server pretty hard.
