I know that I've noticed since I upgraded my vbulletin software the page views were lower than before the upgrade. This was a mystery to me since the other traffic stats seemed normal. Then I realized: Prior to upgrade the email notifies did not contain the text of the reply. This forced the members to return to read their replies and encourage them to continue to participate. I've removed the reply content and am watching now to see if the page views returns to "normal". Really good points.

I too get the replies in the email so I dont always go to that thread and read the rest of the posts. But I'm always on that site so I will eventually read the rest of the posts.

I also get annoyed when this happens automatically. (I'd like an RSS feed instead, though I'd probably forget subscribing) But then again, I've set up the exact same feature on a couple of forums before, and they seems to work wonders!
