using the online editor facility, ips were also able to view information about their pages which was hidden from the ordinary end user, such as the time and date of the last update, whether the frame was in a closed user group (cug), the price to view the frame (if any) and the "frame count" or number of times the frame had been accessed. the frame count was not accumulated over all irc's but related only to the computer which was being viewed at the time so gaining national access counts was a manual exercise.
