adding google analytics tracker

urchinTracker();

I have to add this right before the end of the body. How can I add this to every page in my forums?

I've seen a couple people say "drop it in the header template" or "footer template" but I don't really know what that means.

also seen it asked to be put in the "headincludes" but I don't know what that means either.

If you go to your Admin CP, then go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager and select your style, you will see all the templates. Go down to the footer template and add that code at the very end of that template.

I'd use the footer template over the headerincludes.

I'd use the footer template over the headerincludes.

Why ?

[Brandon Sheley]

I'd rather it load at the end of the page, vs the beginning.

maybe it doesn't work like that, actually I just add my code to my vbseo ;)

Why ?
If the script locks up, at least you'll see majority of the page.

I'm doing the same thing here. I hope it looks right. Can someone view the source code and tell me?
