Sitemeter problems, part 3

Part 1, part 2

 

Well, in the week since this started, they’ve fixed the issues with the logo screwing up the page, and as of about 7pm EST yesterday they appear to have fixed it so that all new IP’s are listed correctly.  My visits count is still screwy though.  I should be over 4k at this point, not barely over 3k…..not to mention that its not adding visits to the total correctly.  The counter went from 2993 visits early in the day Aug 2 to 3111 visits as of right now.  According to Sitemeter’s own counts on Aug 2 I had 148 visits, and on Aug 3rd I had 117, and so far this morning I’ve had 20….if the Sitemeter folks need someone to come in and explain basic math I’d be delighted to do so……

I CAN just look at the stats as provided by the server, and I do generally keep an eye on them, but I found Sitemeter convient and was actually considering paying for an account since my daily hits have reached a high enough average number to make being only able to see the last 100 annoying.  Not so much any more.  I’ve installed StatCounter, we’ll see how that goes….

Well, they fixed the code on their end, so its not screwing up my page any more…..instead they’ve screwed up my stats.

Before the problems last week I was approaching 4k visits.  Don’t recall the exact number but I remember thinking I was less than a week to 4k.

After it came back it was showing 3300+ visits.  Odd, but I couldn’t swear for sure what the exact number had been before…..

Now its showing LESS than 3k visits AND its showing all the IP address as the same thing regardless of the visitor…..

Arg!

I don’t want to switch to Google’s Analytics.  Are there any OTHER options?  Yes the server keeps track TOO, but its not as easy to work with….

Sitemeter problems?

Is anyone else having trouble with their Sitemeter?

A few days ago it spent 24hrs with two logos side by side, then it changed back to one logo but it was off center and it was COMPLETELY distorting the footer.  Yesterday I played around with the code, confirmed it was definetly the Sitemeter that was the problem, and submitted a ticket to them.  Last night the spot on the footer thats supposed to show the Sitemeter logo is now a white bar, attempts to log into their page how tells me my account is under maintenance.  I assume that means they’re working on it, but is anyone else having issues?

So, I was able to get ahold of a large case of pork necks.  Skin’s already gone, but otherwise most of the pieces look to be the complete neck.  Since they’re for the dogs, I need to break them down into smaller pieces, especially for Arty.  I’m thinking a hacksaw, but is there anything else that might work better?  Money is, as usual, an issue, but since I expect to be able to source pork necks and other similer pieces from this supplier on a regular basis getting something that’ll DO the job is worth it.  Any suggestions from you hunter/farmer people?
