Need help in getting my counter on my website to display properly.
What I currently have is:

<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b>You are
visitor
number <a href="http://www.freecountercode.com/" title="Free Website
Counters" ></a><img
src="http://www.freecountercode.com//Free_Website_Counters_4066260.png"
> since
24 August 2001.</b> </p>

My website displays "You are visitor number since 24 August 2001."
but no counter! Please advise.

OK: Don’t.

Reread the instructions at freecountercode.com == I'm completly
unfamiliar with it, but this makes no sense no matter how I imagine
freecountercode working.

You might try moving the </a> tag to after the img element.

Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are
so high because they have to recover the costs of developing
those drugs. Two questions:

1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while
prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower?

2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those
development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics?

The image
"http://www.imghostsrc.com/counter.php?counter_id=4066260"cannot be
displayed because it contains errors.

I think I found the problem.

The resource which supposedly be an image has below text at the start of the
image data (which is actually a JPEG image rather than a PNG). The Text is
in HTML format and is duplicated three times, then followed by the actual
valid image binary.

[/quote]

This junk data would cause the image to be unrecognized by common JPEG image
readers.

Seems like imghostsrc.com upgraded or changed their server to the one with a
newer PHP version and assumes that it's backward compatible. Even their
whole site is filled with that error messages. It's the exact same effect as
the counter.php.

How? Inquiring minds need to know. The image at
http://www.imghostsrc.com/counter.php?counter_id=4066260 is still damaged.

Somehow a copy of this message was sent to the OPs personal email, and
he replied to my email from there.

It turns out he is using a different counter now, one he found in his
original code.

But he may want to find out why it counts up by two every time it is hit.
