Hey, where did the number of views above the rating stars go?

The "Views" were not accurately reflecting video views because they were only taking into account page hits, but a significant number of plays come from people who have embedded the video. Until we can tie in with the video service it doesn't make sense to post them.

"...but a significant number of plays come from people who have embedded the video."
