It?s a bit of a shame; I am also uninstalling that one.
The stats are way off, no Firefox, hardly any windows users and not that many people from the US. How can I trust any of the other stats?

But more importantly I keep getting DB errors from time to time, I am not saying that psiStats has anything to do with it, but since I installed it I have been getting emails about lost connections.

I will comeback and check in a few weeks, hopefully the beta testing would have been done.

You need to make the Firefox fix on the previous page for Firefox to get picked up.

[S@NL - BlackBik]

Yep, that did the trick, I can confirm that.

I'm sticking with this hack. I'm sure Psionic Vision is gonna improve it.
It is looking good and when he gets feedback he can improve the hack.
But when everybody is uninstalling he doesn't get feedback

I've installed the updates as mentioned above and that seemes to work.

As you can see in this thread I did try to help, (albeit only a tiny bit).
But the problem with the database is proving too much for me.
How can I keep a hack running when it _might_ be the one causing db errors.

Also, this hack is about statistics, how can I use it, (and in turn help improving it), when most of the stats I have already gathered are useless to me.

Even putting aside the bugs, the actual gathering of the data is incorrect, what other stats could be wrong? My referrer?

I don't see any database errors cropping up and I run 1,000+ users online at a time.

Another issue I noticed, the region percentage don't add up. In looking at psistats.php there are two lines:

$total_count = fetch_sum($getcountries);

and

$total_count                                          += $country['count'];

It appears that double counting is going on - if I comment out the second line, then the percentages in the regions appear correct.

One more suggestion, please add Mozilla as a browser to the list

You people don't get a simple thing. I'll write it in big font, maybe that will help you understand it.

Aside from coding, I have a LOT of other things to do in my life. The fact that I do not respond does not mean that you haven't been heard. There is no need to post the same suggestion more than once.

Those of who you, who are speaking in a demanding tone (and I am not speaking about anyone specifically, you know who you are), you are most likely one of those pathetic people who has no life, who sits at the computer 24/7, and for whom a delayed update - where "delayed" stands for "less frequent than 2 hours" - is an "omg #$^ it's the #$&@^$% end of the world". If that's the case - that's your problem, not mine. Just know that you are (or soon will be) the one and only reason that I will forfeit support of ALL my free hacks, or make this hack the last free hack you'll ever see coming from me. If I do so, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, esspecially things that will come henceforth. If you do not want that to happen, sit the **** back and be patient.

Now that I said it, thanks to those of you who have given suggestions and code fixes - you know who you are - I will review (and, if needed, address) them whenever I have time. And the latter might not happen until after two or three weeks. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

FYI, to get freebsd to show up make the following change:

Look for :

        'Free BSD'                              =>      'free-bsd',

And change to :

        'Free BSD'                              =>      'freebsd',
