texte = I've been testing the MasterCounter WebDNA sample and getting some strange behavior. I'm seeing #hits values actually drop?? on some pages and bizarre results overall. On one site I have an entrance page, a search page, an intermediate results page and then a detailed results page. This is a very linear site, meaning you wouldn'tt normally get to a daughter page without going through it's parent page yet here are the #hits values for this test period.index.tmpl 1 search.tmpl 31 results.tmpl 3 results_detail 54I've installed everything per the instructions without modification of the example code. What's really weird is that I just now loaded the results.tmpl page and the counter incremented up. Then I watched (via Timbuktu) a visitor hit the same page and the counter value actually dropped. At first I thought I was having some sort of hallucination caused by some residual effect of my experimental youth but apparently not. Anybody experienced anything like this? BTW, I'm running WC Mac 2.1b2 on WebStar 2.0 and viewing through Navigator 3.01. Thanks -marty Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
