Just a little something that amused me while i was browsing through my Google Analytics. Amount of Viewers via Safari = 8% Users computers = 100% Windows  So unless there's a non-mac version of safari, i'm confused  ------------- Handyman man? |

That sounds strange. I have never used Google Analytics. I normally use AWStats ------------- http://www.james-r.co.uk" rel="no follow - James http://www.gotrillian.com/?4498-20" rel="no follow - Trillian - M |

8% seems awfully high for Safari. I'd suspect that "Everything Else" was defaulting to the Safari bucket.

One to stay away from is 123LogAnalyzer they suck!! I bought this software for $150 USD, never managed to get it to work, all emails to the makers bounced back, I left 10+ answer messages over a 3 week period, and even sent faxes, but never heard nothing, so lost my $150 ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I consider myself a 'very' small time webmaster so it doesn't bother me to much, just found it amusing lol?p.s. i'm posting this from my mobile phone using opera mini, i'd like to congratulate -boRg- on how well the forum renders on a small mobile device.  ------------- Handyman man? |

If your host has a stats program available - like AWstats - it's usually worht a look. No two stats programs count the same way though, so take em with a grain of salt. I like AWstats because it's easy to understand. I stay away from google analytics because they collect too much info about other search bots that visit a site - how they index, search terms, etc. -------------
