Only US visitors showing up
I have had other than US visitors leave comments on my site but their countries flags have not shown up on the counter, only US visitors. Have I not set things up properly?

Re: Only US visitors showing up
When you click on your flagcounter widget to go to your summary page, does it show how many countries have visited the site? Is that showing only one country (US) has visited or more? Have you set the maximum number of flags correctly?
Also, have these visitors from other countries come to your site after you added the flag counter widget or before? Flagcounter (like any other widget out there) can not count visitors who visited your site before the widget was added to your site (unfortunately, the internet does not keep a history of who visited what site for widgets to get fully populated with history as soon as they are placed on a website).

Re: Only US visitors showing up
Thanks for your time in responding. Being new to Flagcounter I'm not sure if I'm set up correctly. When I click on Flagcounter Summary, it shows only 1 country, the U.S. has visited, and I know I had a visitor/comment from a foreign country after I set up my account. You say there is a maximum number of flags setting?. Maybe that is where I've gone astray. I didn't or don't see any way to change this. Can you help, any guidence would be much appreciated!!
I didn't think it was possible to retrieve any visits before starting Flagcounter, that would have been nice though!
Thanks

Re: Only US visitors showing up
At the bottom of your summary page, you should see a link to "regenerate html". If you click on that, you can change the options associated with your flagcounter widget, including the maximum number of flags to display. If you can't locate that, try the faq here:
Sometimes visitors don't get counted even if you have set up the widget correctly because they may be blocking third-party images from loading in their browser. Flagcounter will only count visitors who load the image in their browser (the image is hosted on the flagcounter server, and the loading of the image is what tells the server that a visitor has visited your website). If your counter is set up correctly, just wait a while and see if more flags eventually show up.

Do you have your Flag Counter code on the page where visitors are leaving comments?

Re: Only US visitors showing up
I have the Flag Counter installed in a message box where I have seen others on the website in question, pbase.com. It seems to be working now, though I guess I haven't had a foreign visitor as of yet. I had originally set it up with the minimum countries so I changed it to the maximum to see if that helps. I have also installed the States counter also. Let me know if this sounds right!

Re: Only US visitors showing up
Thanks for everyones help and responses, But I'm still not sure if Flag Counter is working correctly on my site. I've had comments from Scotland and Spain, but after 3 days the flags have still not shown up. Maybe I'm making too much of this and shouldn't worry about it. Here is my site if anyone would like to check on my flag counter. www.pbase.com/rjgjr
