I would like to try and fix this, and at the same time, update the tracking code to the newer version (ga.js instead of urchin.js) from google-analytics.com. The following pages have information on how to do this: http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55524&topic=10982 http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=10976 If no-one objects, I will test the changes on a duplicate of the main page, then transfer things over to the main page. This should only affect the tracking, and not the visual appearance of any of the site.
