Most viewed pictures

This is kinda dumb, but lately people have been getting their images to be the most viewed by clearing their cache and history and re-viewing their pictures. That's just one or two of the guys who've got this trick. What I want to do is bring them back to a specific number of views. So is there any way to increase or decrease the views of an image?

CPG 1.4x will let you reset the view counter. Don't know about 1.3. If you want to change it to a specific number of views, you'd need to use a database editor like phpmyadmin. But if you reset the views to 0, that would likely deter those pranksters from doing it again in the future.

Thanks for the information. Oh, and what database do I edit using phpmyadmin ?

[whisky]

The database I need to edit? Anyone?

[Nibbler]

The database you installed Coppermine into.

[whisky]

Yes, but under what table? I don't see anything that seems to be responsible for the number of views of the image 

[Nibbler]

Looks at the 'hits' field of the prefix_pictures table

Solved! Thhank you very much
