Thought this would be more popular than it's turning out to be......

Kiribans (hit counter pic giveaway's) are pretty pointless... The last three counter readings I set have been missed and unclaimed by visitors to my site.

Does anyone else with a hit counter reward system in place find that people totally miss the point?

Current Mood: confused

Re: ::blink::

Oh. And just lurked by your site. Might know the reason the last three are unclaimed? When I go by there, the box for where the counter would be just comes up as a red x, so the hit counter number isn't loading. Can't claim what you can't see?

Re: ::blink::

It was working an hour ago, the server that hosts my counter must be having a problem...

YUp I just went, system maintenance going on at the moment.

*shrug* I had a couple of hit counters that never got claimed. So what I did was "reset" the award, or take whatever number someone would say...like Pond and the 1512th hit.

I kept resetting the counter to the next closest number too (If you look at the missed counters they are all really close in sequence and were hit within the past 3 days)

???????????????

Well I normally set them pretty far apart, (That was my intention) but the past three I set very close together because they kept getting missed.)

I tried to gauge it so I was doing one a month give or take, that I can handle..... but I was curious why it's getting missed, I wondered if maybe I didn't make it very clear on my site or something.

I was aiming for the next one, but I'd been busy the last few days without much web-browsing. D'oh, I missed it!

But in regards of doing something like that, I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't know. <.<;

Well the next one should happen this week sometime.

But like Chal if you want to claim one of the unclaimed you're more than welcome to.

I checked out your site again shortly after the incident with the person who stacked the counter and, didn't see anything. Considering how peeved you were about it I thought you had stopped doing them.

Hmmmm. I guess I better look harder.

Nope Didn't stop...

and I wouldn't have minded had it been like 10-20 refreshes...

147 times was over the top IMO

Couldn't overlook that massive amount counter skewing

I did another once over. For some reason I thought your counter was on your splash page, which is one of the reasons why I missed it.

Another is that my rez is 800x600. I've only got a 17-inch monitor and I need to wear my glasses to read most text on that, so the only time I switch to a higher resolution is when I watch a widescreen DVD. And I don't always think to change my browser to full-screen to view the "taller" pages. I can't wait until I can afford a nice size flat-screen!

Then there is the fact that your counter doesn't seem to like me. It keeps hiding! *grin*

Well at least I know where it should be, now, and have a very good reason to visit on a daily basis.

Babs, who is still jealous :o)

Well the counter a little bit ago was under system maintenance it's back up again

and yeah at 800x600 you gotta hit f11 to see it

because the graphic I made/used for the iframeset is exactly 800x600 so if you put a browser tool bar around it at 800x600 view you have to use f11 to remove the toolbar in your browser to see it.

I put the counter on my main page, because according to my stats people bookmark my page as http://fablespinner.com/main.html bypassing the splash page entirely.

><

SO if I put the counter on my splash page, it's not accurate.

I've only had one unclaimed (but I usually set the numbers far enough apart that regular visitors notice them) but I quit doing them after the last time, which I'd set three numbers (I was just hitting the 100,000 mark) and a single person spammed upwards of 800 page refreshes to get them. -_-;

ANd I thought 147 refreshes was insane

800?

O_O

What a sad loser, really.

Did you think we wouldn't notice such a HUGE jump in traffic OVERNIGHT?
