Paul,  thanks for the quick advice.  Perhaps Jeremy will respond in the next day or so.

Hi Jens,

Yes I'm a professor using these counters in my classes - thus I'm tyring to operate 18 of them.  I created 11 of them in late 2011 or early 2012, and used them successfully on my blog pages from about April - July 2012.  I saw that the pages still had significant visits between July - now - thus they are active!  Today I created about 7 more counters for an up-coming class. 

I can not reset any of the counters.  From the first group of 11, I've tried several times from 2 different IP addresses.  For the ones I created today - the "management link" isn't show (which may make sense since the counters are only 8 hours old.).  Does this information help?

I'm not sure if this is where I should post this...I had installed a flag counter last year...and had collected over 100 flags and over 14,000 page views...then one day, it was gone and your system did not recognize either of my email addresses as the one I had originally registered with so I was not able to regenerate the flag counter and so today I had to reregister and reinstall the flag counter and start all over again at zero.   Any idea of what happened.  I blog at www.viviankirkfield.wordpress.com and the day the flag counter disappeared, a bunch of other items on that right sidebar also disappeared...so maybe it was a wordpress issue.

I run 18 counters because my students participate in a competitive Infographics competition - competing for unique views of their posters.  So I need to keep track of the number of unique viewers of their work (18 teams) - as grading is based on "share of total views" .
