This is a 2-part issue: 1 - Is this information recorded? 2 - Do we want to display it? Recording this is a significant hit to the database - an update for every single view. It gets a bit more complicated if we want to track unique (i.e., per user) views. If this is already being tracked then display is a UI/policy issue. If it is not already being tracked then (based on my experience in other projects) I would think long & hard before adding that tracking. @ArtOfCode ?
