Had this problem for the past week, better now though…

I haven’t had a problem. I’ve mostly used the old version, but just tried the new version and it’s fine too. I’m on Firefox with Adblock and NoScript extensions (among others).

I’ve had this problem several times, but sometimes reloading or signing in after a sign out makes things smooth.

Michael did you install any new extensions lately? I was having a similar problem and for me the culprit turned out to be the Compete Toolbar extension. Bye bye toolbar and Analytics was working again.

Hat tip to Steven yep it was the compete toolbar, so my mistake completely.

However this should be a lesson, using programming that depends on client side code or functionality is a dangerous. You have no way of knowing what is on an end users machine, and how it will interact with your JS or AJAX application.

Glad to help. I had to bug the Analytics team a few times till they suggested it might be an extension.

I agree with you too about depending on the client side code. We shouldn’t have to make a choice between the extension and Analytics. No reason why both can’t work together.

Google screwed up royally with their groovy kids-like interface.

my problem was different.Google analytics didn’t show any visitor for a site with more than 500 visitors,it was only after 4 days it started to work properly.

Yep. I’m getting the same issue as Lokesh.
