Gallery hit counter grinds to a halt.

Is anyone experiencing their Gallery hit counters not moving i.e. not counting hits?? All of my gallery counters have remained stationary for approximately the last 24hrs although images within those galleries have counted hits.

I altered my CSS at about the same time that the counters halted is this a coincidence?? Could some one have a look at my source code to see if I'm to blame....

Cheers

It looks like my hit counters have halved.

how odd. I just cracked 8000 the other day (On all galleries page), and now I'm down to 4000somthing.

How richly bizzare.

weird...

Ha! Thanks for pointing that thread out, at least I'm not on my own. I was convinced my new CSS had something to do with it, Slug to the rescue.

I'm still experiencing 0 hits on two new galleries that were uploaded late Sunday 8/10. I know they are getting hits which show at the bottom when I go to "display gallery." Will be patient though til you fix this! Thanks!

I am also experiencing the same problem you've described. I wonder if it is on all counters or some setting I've over looked? Count has STOPPED

I'm assuming they are working on this? minor inconvenience I know but would be nice to have, I have clients I'm checking up on... to make sure they have viewed the work....

They were going to get it fixed yesterday, but must have run into some problems. Also they may be installing a new server right about now. I don't get any updates on hits in the "edit root gallery" or "edit gallery" page.

There is an explanation to be found at http://www.pbase.com/help/hit_counters

Hope this is of use to all.

Well, I think I already knew that.

What I would like to know is if the hits are going to continue to be recorded in the "edit gallery" or "edit root gallery" screen like they used to be. Or, is this going to be replaced by another page/chart/graph or whatever? Seeing the totals in those screens was very helpful and easy to follow.

It almost seems that the "most popular" vote has become a problem. In an effort to keep that as accurate as possible, we lose the individual count. I would rather see the count in my "edit root gallery" and know which images people respond to than to have a competition for "most popular gallery" ...much more helpful to the individual photographer. ???

the gallery hit count displayed on the gallery edit page is now updating properly.
it shows the same number as at the bottom of the gallery display page, which does not include your own hits.
similar to other recent problems, the hits have been being recorded correctly for years, it's just been a display problem.

to address a couple of other points in this thread:

yes, there will be a chart display coming up. not ready yet.

the page view counts have nothing to do with the "popular galleries" page. those galleries are selected by having other people click on the "vote for this gallery" link.

Possibly related - my gallery is showing a "# viewers since "March 2002" - not the current date.

The hits to date total has dropped by over a thousand from the peak.
