What I <i>should<\/i> have done, a couple of weeks ago, was go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.statcounter.com\/vb\/\">Statcounter forums<\/a> and ask what was going on. 30 seconds after I eventually got round to it, this <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.statcounter.com\/vb\/showthread.php?t=22559\">sticky forum posting<\/a> showed just how common a problem this is so, for anyone else using Statcounter who might run into this problem, I thought I&#8217;d mention it here.<\/p>\n<p>My short term solution has been to delete all cookies on my laptop (you wouldn&#8217;t believe the amount of junk that was in there anyway) to give the Statcounter cookies the best chance of working.
