Why is the blog counter not there anymore?

Question

A while back it seemed stuck on the same number and now it is completely gone for about 3 plus days.

What is the problem?

Answer 1

This is a long-time 360 issue. The counter/pageviews feature is notoriously unreliable. The best thing is to ignore that feature. You can't reset or modify it yourself.

You can try the following and that's about it:

1) Refresh your Home or My Page several times. The visitor stats may re-appear on those pages at some point.

2) Clear your browser's cache and cookies. Before clearing cookies, make sure you know your passwords to sites.

CACHE:

In Internet Explorer, see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/usin...

In Firefox, click the "Clear Cache Now" button under Tools > Options > Privacy > Cache.

In Safari, under the Safari menu is an option to Empty Cache; select this.

COOKIES:

In Firefox, do this under Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies > Clear Cookies Now

In Internet Explorer, do this under Tools > Internet Options > General > Browsing History > Delete > Delete Cookies > Yes

In Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Click Show Cookies, then click the option to Remove cookies.

Then, restart your computer.

3) Some users insert maps into every few blog entries (http://www.statcounter.com ). Be aware that it may be an error-prone solution and it won't give you names - maybe just aggregate or IP address information.
