unique visitor graphs wrong
Hi, I'm confused about this!
On the "Countries" page, in the middle column, beside the number showing unique visitors for each country is an icon of a graph. When I click on it, a page comes up that purports to show a graph of visits from that country but these graphs are all wrong -- many shows no visits from the last week or two that I've been enrolled even when the number in the original column shows I've had several, and most seem to show a weird spike of visits in April when I hadn't even signed up. I got my flag counter towards the end of May! So what's up with these graphs?
Thanks for any info!

What's the URL of your counter? Possibly someone else is using your counter or you're using someone else's.

Re: unique visitor graphs wrong
U.K for example shows a spike in April--I wasn't even signed up til end of may. Also shows no visits in June--none til July 12, whereas my daily stats on Flag Counter during June showed regular visits from the UK and in fact I know various individuals who told me in their emails that they had visited my blog!
Sorry I didn't notice your reply sooner...
Why would the daily FC stats note visits from particular countries but this column of graphs not agree???
Thanks,
Ingrid

Re: unique visitor graphs wrong
postscript--
just noticed my flag counter says "visitors since 4/29/11! I was sure I got FC end of May. Checked my emails and have a mssg fr FC on 5/29/11 subject line is "Flag Counter created", email thanks me for joining etc. My too-early U.K. visitors (on the detail UK chart as well as the accompanying list with dates and numbers of visitors) start in early April, even before the (erroneous) 4/29 start date! Then no visits show til mid-July even though as I said, the daily FC stats and personal communications said I had regular UK visits long before then.
Re someone else using my flag counter--when my wordpress stat counter jumps up by one, the daily FC immediately shows one visit also--this is especially easy to see at night when my (mostly U.S.) visits are slow. Days with higher or lower numbers in my wordpress stats also show as being higher or lower on my FC stats though the numbers are not identical. It seems to be only the individual country graphs and charts that are wrong.
The "daily breakdown" chart on the first page of FC seems correct. ---I just clicked on it to show me "past year" --it shows my first day of visits as May 30, as I thought (I signed up May 29 but Pacific Time, was probably May 30 grenwich time).
