Tracker v2!
Ok I think most of the bugs have been ironed out for me to be comfortable enough to officially announce the new tracker. Thanks everyone for your patience and support! =)

CB was one of the first websites to provide a tracker - way back during our Xangans.com days - sometime during 2003. Now we undoubtedly have the most powerful tracker once again. Here are the features of the new tracker:

- New and improved user interface
- See where your visitors are coming from
- Unlimited daily and monthly bar graphs
- 30 days of log details (individual hits)
- New measures to prevent hijacking
- In-depth IP information
- Supports all personal sites
- Tracks top visitors, destination and referer pages

If you find any bugs, please post in this topic. I shall get to them as soon as possible! =)



Frequently asked questions
I signed up for the tracker, why doesn't it work?
You need to make sure to place your tracker code on your page for tracker to begin tracking hits. IF you set your profile page to private, only users who are actually able to see your profile page will be tracked. In the future, I'll add support so that the tracker code will fit in Headlines (myspace) so that private pages will be tracked regardless.

I'm trying to sign up but it keeps on telling me that the site is already being tracked, why?
Most likely you signed up for your page using another createblog account. If you can't remember your original createblog account, pm me with the url you wish to track and I can reset this for you.

How do I hide the tracker button?
The tracker button is there to help promote our tracker. It's also there as a privacy precaution - we believe that if you choose to use a tracker, visitors have the right to know they are being tracked. In the future, I'm going to release code for official members to hide their button, so if you wish to take advantage of this feature, give back to the community and contribute!

My tracker stops tracking everyday after a while and restarts again the next day, why?
For regular members, the tracker will track only the first 500 hits to your page. After this limit is reached, all other hits are ignored for the day. For official members, this limit is 10x the amount and set at 5000 hits. If you're a regular member, contribute to our community so that you'll be eligible to become an official member. Once you are promoted, PM me and I can increase your daily alloted limit.

My tracker works but the time is all incorrect, why?
Make sure your timezone is correct. Click on 'edit settings' (found on the red panel underneath the daily bar graph) and select the correct timezone. Also make sure your profile page's timezone is also correct.

What is the prevent hi-jacking option?
Enabling this option will make sure that all your hits are coming from your profile page. In another words, even if someone else "steals" your tracker code and inserts it into their page, all their hits will be ignored by your tracker.

Why does everyone come up as "Anonymous"
The tracker only logs the IPs of your visitors. It's your responsibility to "label" these IPs to profiles. A little detective work usually does the trick. For example, if you have a hit at 12:01am and someone leaves you a comment at 12:02am, then most likely the commenter is the visitor. To label IPs, click on the IP (anonymous) and then "identify IP".
