Flag Counter Forum / Yearly reset of Flag Counter Pro

**Posted by holostudio** December 29, 2015 4:17 pm

Hello. Long time fan of Flag Counter, and decided to to Pro earlier this year.

I currently have 155 country flags, with 33,557 page views.

Each Jan. 1st, I would like to reset both flags AND pageviews to zero.

I did a "dry run" reset test in September.

It reset my flags to 0, but did not reset my pageview count to 0.

Can I reset both flags and pageviews? (I did do a quick check of the FAQ for this particular query).

Or should I cancel my Pro sub, and pay for a new Pro sub each year?

Thank you ... and I LOVE flag counter. People have mentioned that it is not "professional" to have these types of counters, but I have had my web site since 1995 ... so I tell them to take a hike!

Hi holostudio,

The pageview count should definitely reset when you reset your counter. Can you try again? Otherwise, post the address or send me the address of your counter and I can see what might be going wrong, or manually reset your counter.

Thank you Jeremy. It did, indeed, reset everything to zero. Happy New Year to you and staff at Flagcounter.

I guess I spoke too soon. The pageview counter is once again showing 33,000+ this morning, after successfully resetting to zero last evening.

The domain of the counter is www.holoworld.com (bottom of page) ... if someone could just wipe it clean for 2016.

Thank you.

I reset again. I include a photo (screen cap) of the reset world map on my homepage. Let's see if it increments correctly from here, or if it jumps back up to 33,000+ page views tomorrow. If it jumps back up, I'll post another screen capture to show.

Thanks again (just trying to get "reset" to reset).
Frank

And here it is, once again after a reset to 0, going back to 33,000+ page views.

I have decided to remove the code entirely from the web site. Thank you.

Hi holostudio,

I'm sorry that this has been such an inconvenience. I have reset your counter manually and there should be no trace of your past visitors.

We have several mechanisms in place to prevent lost data, and the reset tool is not widely used. Nevertheless, it should have been working correctly and I have put some updates in place to ensure that it will in the future.

I hope you will place the counter back on your site at this time.
