This is my 8th help request on case 1625111 (page counters reset to zero). Following earlier requests I've been assured that the "problem will be looked into". So far I've received no help. The suggested "workaround" is not helpful. The site activity report now displays only partial information for the current day. Details and history here: http:/www.geocities.com/lclane2/stats.html

I'm not sure what "reloading your domain" means. I have found that reloading the site statistics page gives slightly more hits than with the original loading. Subsequent reloads don't improve matters. There remain pages for which I havent' seen the statistics for months.

Hello Les,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! GeoCities.

We would like to reassure you that we are investigating the problem you reported. We apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter.

Should you wish to contact us regarding this issue, please refer to case number: 1625111.

As a workaround, you may be able to "unstick" your Site Statistics by loading your domain several times in the web browser. This should cause the Site Statistics page to properly display your stats.

Please be aware that this is a workaround while we address the root cause of this issue. If your Site Statistics page begins to misbehave again, using the workaround again should provide a temporary "fix".

We appreciate your reporting it to us. Your input helps us identify ways to constantly maintain and improve Yahoo! Small Business Services.

Please do not hesitate to reply if you need further assistance.

This is my 3rd help request on case 1625111. There's been no progress . Details and history here: http:/www.geocities.com/lclane2/stats.html

12/16/07

Total stats increased briefly following the 12/14 message. However when I click on "stats" of individual pages (Fig2) the summary report says "no data". When I refreshed the main stats page it reverted to the situation as of 12/13 (Fig1) where it has remained. Pages with missing stats fall into 3 classes. In the largest class stats have totally disappeared (zeroes of Fig1). In the second class counters register on rare occasions and in the third (smallest) class large runs of daily stats (see 12/12) are missing.

The "interesting.html" file is now restored but with roughly a month's gap.

(12/12/07) I wrote

There's been no progress on case 1625111. Details here: http:/www.geocities.com/lclane2/stats.html

If anything my total hits are drifting downwards. My "interesting.html" page, which had several thousand hits, recently reset to zero. In contrast to most of the reset pages this one has begun (from zero) accummulating hits.

My statistics reappeared briefly after I received this message, but then disappeared again. If it's any help, some pages are erratic. They're zeroed most of the time, but occasionally visible.
