It appears you've made your log private.  The log will show every time someone loads your flag counter image.  If you're browsing your site and load the image several times, it will be recorded each time.  If you could describe what was mysterious maybe I can shed some more light on this.

Just now I have disabled privacy mode.

Well, I don't quite understand the many many views that seem to come from just one user, if they only click once. Also, I understood that my own visits would not be recorded because of a cookie installed after the first visit. Yet it does record my visits, as I can see on the log. It absolutely miffs me, over threethousand  views!

It also appears that you have BOTH a flag map and a top countries flag counter loading from the same flag counter code.  This will cause visitors to be counted TWICE due to the way we set cookies, and is not recommended.

Thanks for getting back to me. Then best to remove the counter code. I did not realize the count would be doubled, it was not intentional, but just to get a better instant view of the identity of the flags.
