Icon Meanings on a Forum

I've noticed two Icons for each topic: Two Word Bubble and an Eye Icon. I believe the first are the number of posts. At one point I thought the eye meant people have looked at it. I'm currently working on getting a game up, adding and revising materials and see the Eye icon number increasing on one group post I'd share. I thought its not shared. So what does it mean? - I'm new  to this.

The number next to the "eye" picto is the number of times a topic has been viewed. Each time any user [re]loads a topic, that number goes up by one.

Greetings Dave C. (aka. Mad Tinkerer)! The "two word bubble" icon you see represents the number of comments in the thread, not including the original post.
