Just to annoy you fryman! Have some of your sites took a dive recently? You seem to be getting more tetchy by the day. Pete
They are stuck for me. It really throws me off because I think my sites have tanked. I get ready to make a bunch of changes. Then, the next day, I find everything was normal. One of these days, my sites really will tank, but I'll think its because the stats haven't updated.
What "valid problem"? If you think that having the stats not updating is a problem then you really need to get a life, we all know that this happens every once in a while and after a few hours the stats catch up. Stop checking the stats every 5 minutes and go work on your sites.
Get a life. Who cares about day-to-day stats anyway. Spend your time on something more valueable than reloading the adsense statistics over and over.
If your stats ever stop updating for more than 15 minutes you should assume you have been banned and act accordingly. This means photoshoping up all kinds of anti-google ads, filing with any other ad program you can find, and making a Yahoo Ads T-Shirt complete with your bedazzler.
If stats stopped updating for a couple of days (or longer) then I'd start to wonder. A couple of hours never hurt no one.
