I have posted a thread on a website forum. Is there anyway to track views of that post with google analytics?

I remember that there was a method in which a white small image was added and behind that image, google tracking code resides. But I don't know how to do that

So, there's no real way to do this reliably with Google Analytics. The closest you can do is the following:

Create a unique Google Analytics account. Paste the Google Analytics code on a page somewhere. Using Firebug, Webkit inspector, Fiddler, or some other HTTP inspector, find out the value of the __utm.gif image request that your Google Analytics snippet generated. Embed that image on your forum post.

Now, none of the resulting data will be reliable except 'Pageviews', and perhaps location. All of the data about computer configuration, source, etc. will just be shown as it is on the computer on which you initially created the original __utm.gif. That's because all of those values are set via JavaScript and dynamically used to create that image.
