About a month ago you will of seen one of my posts going on about how brilliant extreme tracker was. It told me everything I needed to know about anyone who came and visited my site. It had Graphs, Tables Comparison Charts, averages and a brilliant summary page.

Well, the boasting is over cause Extreme have messed up my tracker. I am sure there are a few of you that have seen the big red "Tracker Server Maintanance" message if you have one of these.

Well mine's been saying that for 2 months and I can't for the life of me get in to see my stats. This has happened to all the trackers on my entire domain!

Try E-mailing them I hear you say! Ha! No chance, I could send them mail bombs and they would't notice!

So I am gonna kick this one out the front door onto the street and welcome a replacement. Please can someone suggest a perfect fast detailed,small,sweeet tracker that basically does the same.

thanks

Minton,

Hitbox sux man I had a look at it and have you guys seen the button you got to use? It looks like some cheesey link site flashing button. Also the layout of the tracking system is a mess! I was so upset about their advertising I mailed them. Definatley a no-no!

I disagree. Yes, the graphic you must use is the ugliest graphic known to mankind. I changed it to the banner which actually integrated better into the site. I will be switching from hitbox though because I just find the graphic AND the banner option just to intrusive on the site.

HOWEVER, I find their stats to be truly the best I have found. There has NEVER been downtime (unlike the thecounter.com fiasco of months back). So, I would say if you can stomach the ugly graphic or banner, go with Hitbox. I just cant stomach the graphic/banner.

I'd have to disagree too (well, I have to stick up for myself don't I? ). Hitbox stats really are the most detailed on the web. They tell you everything you need to know about your visitors that can be gained via a tracker. The button is ugly and it takes a while to load but it is a small price to pay for the stats you get.

Also, the only bad thing about the naviagtion is that youhave to wait for the page to fully load before it "builds the menu".

For one of my current projects I have to find something besides HitBox because the graphic just wont work on the site (aesthetics). SO in this case, it IS too big a price to pay I really need good referrer info just like HitBox provides (man are their stats great). If anybody knows of a hosted stats service with good referrer stats please post!

I just tried superstats.com It's button is far less intrusive than HitBox, lets see how it goes. Anybody ever use counted.com?

Have you heard of WIDTH=1 and HEIGHT=1 ? It works.
