Same issue here. After days of stat collecting still no goals registering.

Mine finally started registering after I removed the code from my header include template, saved it, then went back in and re-added the code.

Must have been some cache thing or something. Weird, but I'll take it.

Nice to see a hack for Google Analytics.
However, Google instructs us to put the analytics script before the

</body>

tag.
Shouldn't it therefore go at the bottom of the footer template?

Also for people having put it there for all their pages (and who need account email verification) , won't adding a goal with the 'head matched' url of

do the job for account activations?

In one place Google says to put it before the body tag. In another it says to put it where the instructions state. In reality, it will work anywhere on the page. For SEO purposes, it is better at the bottom; however, a lot of people had problems with other scripts running first, and putting it before other scripts solved the problems. Having said that, sure, try it just before the closing body tag. If that doesn't work, move it up to the header.

Here is a suggestion for vbulletin 3.7 integration.

I have done google analytics code to template ad_footer_end as let analytics code being last in html code suggested from google analytics. So I'd suggest for porting this mod to 3.7 to let this mod add google funnel code not to headinclude but to ad_footer_end template. I'd be happy if you like this idea. Thank you very much!

Thank you. Google states it can be in either place; it just depends on which help screen you are reading at the time. Some people have had trouble putting it at the end due to other scripts preventing it from running.

Thanks for your feedback. Your product works great on my forum.

Looooks very good guys but I'm sorry I'm a little lost on what it does or is? I've never heard of Google Analytics before?

Will this work with the "new form" of code?

I'm looks like the name of the script has change therefore I'm assuming there would be a problem.

Thanks
