Problem showing foreign
I have another counter on my site and I wanted to use Flag Counter instead.
I put the Flag Counter html on the site.
However, when someone from another country visiits my main page (where the counter is), I see their country in my old counter, BUT I do not see the foreign flag on my Flag Counter?
Why not?

Sorry, don't know what you mean. (How would we know?)
We have a personal site from a free web site provider. eu.pn.
We also tried Flag Counter on our other site with biz.ng and same result. It counts our visits, but didn't show visits of people in other countries, locations, etc.
Maybe we cannot use this flag counter on our web sites.
(We don't like printing our web site's addess in order to prevent a lot of spam, etc.)

Hi akio,
A small number of websites load all external images placed on their sites through a proxy. Since Flag Counter is a simple image, this can cause problems in that configuration. If you post the address of your site, we can take a look at whether that is occurring or whether something else might be incorrect with your installation.

Re: Problem showing foreign
I thought all I had to do was place the HTML you provided on my main page and that would be all.
<a href=" src=" alt="Flag Counter" border="0"></a>
But I guess it is not as simple as that.

Re: Problem showing foreign
It is very simple but some services require a modification of the html.
But that has nothing to do with the problem you mentioned.
