Site Meter Problems
It would appear that my Site Meter counter has ceased working. StatCounter shows normal traffic, Site Meter has not counted anything since about 2am. If anyone has a clue what might be wrong, let me know, please.
UPDATE: Thanks to Jim over at bRight and Early for pointing out a new post at the Site Meter blog:
Due to a power outage, the statistics for most accounts are currently delayed about 7 hours. They’ll start catching back up to real-time in the next hour or two. No statistics were lost, just the reporting is deplayed. Thanks.
It only took them how many hours to post that?

I have a similar problem, but it’s been brewing off and on for a couple weeks. If you hit the “who’s on” option inside sitemeter, you’ll probably get a message like this:
The statistics for visitors from the last 443 minutes are not yet available.
I’ve been getting messages like that almost ever day this week, although it’s usually for a shorter period. As far as I can tell, sitemeter keeps counting incoming hits, but just can’t report them for awhile. Eventually it catches up. My guess is that they are doing something with their servers.
Oh, and in writing this post, when I checked again, I got a This report is unavailable, please try again [later] message.

Yeah, I get that message - it looks like you’re right. Thanks.

Sitemeter (finally) has a notification on their weblog saying it was caused by a power outage. They are indicating the stats should start catching up in an hour or two.

Same here. I’ve this message at the moment:
The statistics for visitors from the last 213 minutes are not yet available.

Thanks, Jim. I’m glad it wasn’t me!
