Tracker v2! Options

[christy23]

FOR THOSE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND THE IDENTIFY FEATURE..

I get it, & im in love with it already.... what u do is, if u know who that IP address belongs to, u find their myspace/hi5/LJ username, like myspace would be ur url, the name u chose for ur myspace link, its not suppose to be urs unless you know ur IP address & wanna put in ur info as well. well you put in which site ur identifying & the persons username.. then their default pic will show up & its registers to that IP address, so every time they come up on ur tracker ull see their pic as well.... its like identifying the person whos coming to ur page. Get people to comment u so u can figure out their IP addresses!!!! If ya need help.... PM me!

I have 3 trackers..... & ONLY one of them gave me the option to activate the tracker... the one page i dont care for. seems like not alll accts are gettin the red link MICRON! There still maybe a bug! Please PM if there maybe something i can help with or whats going on!

[chilifan9]

^ yup, v1 will no longer work if you update your about me, regardless of it being hidden or not. the "hiding" is done via css, which only masks it (without changing the image code).

umm well myspace didnt block any Image use on Myspace for about me sections. Cuz when I plugged my new tracking code into it, it showed the picture but the tracker just wasnt working.

instead of the single quotes like this ' i replaced those signs with the real " and it worked.

Yeah, mine doesn't have the red link either:

Most of my visitors turn up as 0.0.0.0, which makes the tracker entirely useless. There's also far too much scrolling needed to get an overview, and the layout is just terribly impractical on the whole.

Like so much else on the 'net these days, CB has become bloated, for no good reason. Wouldn't it at least be possible to allow people to choose whether they want v1 or v2, like Livejournal did with their styles?

Also, the update seems very focused on Myspace. For Livejournal users, there appears to be no benefits whatsoever, only drawbacks.

any news on the v2 bug gettin fixed?

[socalidude]

i have no link. where can i go to do this?

Ok buggy bug bug - please DO NOT update your tracker code!
The tracker v2 is finally out!

CB was one of the first tracker providers - since 2003 - so its only fitting that we have the very best one! Here are the features of the new tracker:

- New and improved user interface
- Daily and monthly bar graphs
- 30 days of log details (individual hits)
- New measures to prevent hijacking
- In-depth IP information (identify, comment, track recent visited)
- Supports all personal sites (myspace, hi5, xanga, livejournal, blogger)
- Tracks top visitors, destination and referer pages
MYSPACE USERS: If you were using the tracker, you will need to restart the tracker to resume logging. To do this, go to your cb tracker page, and there should be a link at the very top in red (not the one below the graph). All your information will be saved, so you need not worry about that. DO NOT update your about me tracker code or the tracker will no longer work!

I also could not get a tracker code to work & just see views from yesterday. So I dleeted the tracker & am trying to start over, but I cannot figure it out! HELP!!

[gelionie]

I am utterly confused...

why is everyone appearing as "anonymous"?

Also, do I need to update the tracker code for xanga?

[rachelxD]

i didn't mess with the code or anything but for some reason no views have been tracked since yesterday

I kind of like have to admit I liked the old tracker better… I think it had a more clearer overview…

BUT, I am having also THE SAME PROBLEM as some others I read about on this forum: I cant update my old code with the new one. And I have to update apparently because the old one does NOT count new stats anymore.

But when I click the link http://www.createblog.com/tracker/code.php?id=53325 I get a BLANK page like some others (in IE, but also in firefox…).

So, is this only temporarily, or should I make some other adjustments before reinstalling the coded?

Many thanks!

[JVDW]

Oh yeah, and also: how come some of my visitors NOW show the IP as 0.0.0.0 ??? They USED to be normally identified WITH IP with the old tracker stats.

PLEASE BRING BACK V1 OR MAKE IT OPTIONAL…. This one is really messed up, if you ask me. All I get is blank pages when trying to get the new code…

[JVDW]

And what this talking about a link:

MYSPACE USERS: If you were using the tracker, you will need to restart the tracker to resume logging. To do this, go to your cb tracker page, and there should be a link at the very top in red (not the one below the graph). All your information will be saved, so you need not worry about that. DO NOT update your about me tracker code or the tracker will no longer work!

Right, there SHOULD be link, but there is none...and when I click the one BELOW the graph that is there, I even get a blank page. V2 seems not like an improvement to me at all. Maybe it is possible to let the v1 come back as optional feature??? I liked it much better. Almost in all ways, the layout, the way it showed ALL ip s (and not just those zeros)...everything. It worked great and now its totally messed up. I really dont understand and I already miss V1...

Nevertheless, I surely hope you can get V2 to work properly! Success!!

[Ladybugs871]

When I hit restart it keeps saying

"Busy Server
Please try again later, logs will be resumed once this step is finished.

If this error persists, please report in the feedback forum."

I miss version 1, but I am being patient.

[kendally21]

I've read previous entries and i too am having the same issues. blank page to update tracker code, but I guess we're not supposed to do that ANYWAY. No red link at top of page used to "re-start" your tracker...i guess i'll wait for all these glitches to be worked out.
BUt when you click on someones name that has visited your site, then you click on "last ten visits tracked" or something like that...what exactly does that mean?
Thanks

[falsetigerlimbs]

Wow, I can't believe you guys are saying that you want to go back to version one. This is going to be so much better! Be patient. I'm sure Micron is working on it. :)

[vintage0love]

I agree...I think this one will be realy nice once all the bugs get worked out. I can't believe people are complaining like this about a FREE service.

I am having the problem with no red "restart" link though.

[Lra]

It is not complaining, it is just stating an opinion, with all my respects and thanks for the effort. Yes, I insist that i prefer v1 so much, like many others said. The layout was so much simpler, clearer and straightforward.

I wish it was made optional as they said, not to have to have v2, even if it worked, with no choice.

The work wouldnt be useless, if v2 stayed for those who see it useful, but there seem to be many who did prefer v1, so that would be more useful for them too... and they lived happily ever after .

[deadgodgirl]

I deleted everything to start over, but like the others I just get a blank page when I look for a code. I agree the simpler version was best. I really hope we can use v1 again and track myspace - i'd be lost without it.

[willowt1]

Does the old code even work for anyone right now? If so, does anyone have the code, I deleted mine, and now I can't find it anywhere.

[nikki75]

i agree with LRA, yes we know its a free service, the fact that its free has nothing to do with it. it doesnt matter that its free, we just wanna see if anything has been figured out to get it to work because right now, it doesnt. just because its free, doesnt mean we are not gonna say anything when it doesnt work...and the V1 was better, the layout for the new one is strange. that said, if the V2 was the first one we ever got, we might not of liked a new one brought out. as i said in a previous post, its all about getting used to something, or preferring what your used to. me and others on here, prefer what we are used to. nothing wrong with that. the V2 could be great, when it gets worked out. but i think the layout of it needs to be worked on. this is called CONSTRUCTIVE CRISITSIM. it should be welcomed!!!

[clarissa0516]

Im glad Im not the only one who tried to start over with the v2. Im going through withdrawals though because I keep getting stopped at the blank screen!! Hope it will all be fixed soon because I miss my tracker

[clarissa0516]

O and everyone who's been asking...v1 stopped working for me. I had to start over...hence the blank screen problem.

Hi Micron~

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...

I loved the old tracker because of what so many have already expressed previously - it was simple and straightforward. At a glance I was able to see new hits and how they ranked below this section in order of hit count. I knew who many of the people were who were checking my page so, in a way, it was almost like a bidding race at times to see if so and so was going to take the hit lead in front of another so and so.

With that said, I have to say that I also really appreciate many of the new features of v.2. No, it's not as streamlined but I like the fact that I can now identify the people hitting my page with their pictures. Of course, it doesn't work with everyone since, for whatever reason, some people's IP number shows up as 0.0.0.0 (any inclination as to why that is???)- yet with the city and state corresponding, I do know who some of them are without being able to identify them as I can with the others who show complete IP's regardless of whether the city and state are shown initially before identification.

I do like the old graph formatting from v.1 with the bottom to top graphing bars over the newer top to bottom arrangement - but I do like the new feature that allows you to hover over the bar and see the daily count. With v.1 that was a bit of educated guesswork if you didn't want to click on the actual date and view the total hit count for previous days.

Regardless, as another wise person wrote in previously, this service is !!FREE!! so I'm certainly not going to fuss overmuch about how the final v.2 turns out when all is said and done. It's evident that so much hard work and effort has been put into the new version and I, for one, really admire and appreciate what you've done based on what I've seen so far. It's become an invaluable tool for me. I do have another tracker on my page but I've noticed that this one, although not as detailed with information as the other, does actually track hits better. If I flip back and forth between the two, the other misses at least two hits in between every one that this one tracks. That's yet another reason why I love this tracker!!

So.... any ideas as to when it will actually be up and working???

And by the way, thank you! Thanks for creating v.1 in the first place and thanks, too, for all the effort that's gone in thus and all the effort still to come on v.2. Much appreciated!!

[lostjujubeans]

you need to restart your tracker. go to your tracking page, and at the very top youll see a link in red. click it...

same problem here, there is no link to click, everything froze on the 29th and is distorted on the page tracker page. Is it my mac???
