Here's a reply to an email to the admin here I received on Monday, Mar. 23, 2009.
Hi Paul,
I notice you have some questions about your site's Hit Report. Let me explain how this works. The Report is updated automatically once a day around midnight, but the Discussion Forum stats are NOT included in that update. Approximately once a week, the Discussion Hits are manually added to the Hit Report. This affects the number for Entire Site, since the Discussion Forum Hits are a subset of the Entire Site.
There's no big conspiracy here - the Hit Report is updated once a day; and the Discussion Forum numbers are added manually once a week. Your Neighborhood Link site is provided to you FOR FREE and if you have questions about how something works, you are welcome to ask me the question.
Regards,
Susan Eisenhower
