I’m procrastinating wildly here. So I thought I’d look up which GQ question has had the most views without a reply. Could it be said to be the hardest question ever asked on the forum? Well, probably not considering some of the things that get asked. I have to wonder though, why toadspittle’s question about iCal could be so tricky to answer.
At time of writing his question has had 8,219 views without reply.
Now that you’ve posted it, Fiendish, it’ll get even more views. 
The thread has been reported. SDMB rules state all posts should be in english.
Are you seriously saying you can’t understand what’s being said in the OP? It’s not like the OP is using any jargon or anything like that. In fact, I’m not sure I can simplify, other than to point out that “views” means the number of times the webpage (you know, those things you see when you go on the Internet) has been viewed by people on the Internet.
We are here to fight ignorance, so what part do you have trouble understanding?
Not this thread, toadspittle’s. And it was a joke.
I believe Loach was referring to the linked post. (Which, unless you’re a programmer, reads like gibberish.)
iCal (.ics) file format question: DTSTAMP vs CREATED
I’m trying to set up my CMS to create .ics files of our org.'s future events.
One question: What’s the purpose of DTSTAMP, and how does it differ from CREATED?
…
What the heck is a calendar store? Are these engineers saying that DTSTAMP is a property employed by the event hosts, and CREATED is a property employed by the end-user (i.e., to specify when the app on her local machine first stored the event information on her hard drive)? *
What does that mean? Can you answer it?
Oh dear.
No it doesn’t. I understand gibberish.
For me, it’s understanding your role in that fight.
Also, in case anyone still cares, CREATED is when a user created the event in the original calendar, while DATE/TIME STAMP is when the .ics file referencing the event was created.
Heh, it looks like I changed the result by posting about it - an example of Fiendish’s Uncertainty Principle perhaps.
I’m guessing the reason the post got so many views was because of Google searches by people trying to find their own answers about iCal or associated files.
The next most viewed GQ post without a reply had something like 6,000 views.

I always have trouble understanding the ignorant part.
Its hard work being the moral compass for the entire board. Sometimes you slip.
It will even worse when the magnetic poles switch. Imagine the posts then.
Has a whoosh ever caused an actual sonic boom?
BigT, I think you should petition the mods to change your username to Don Quixote.
Ouch, that’s gonna leave a mark.
