My hit counter has reset itself...how do i fix this??

1. Open Notepad and create a "txt" file that has the number of Hits you had in it eg 2400 and save this file giving it any name you like.  

2. Go to you your journal and remove the Hit Counter.  

3. Upload the "txt" file you  created to your space via File Manager AOL Hometown : File Manager  

4. Browse the files. Find the file called .odometer.nameofyourjournal  

5. Delete this file via the Change button  

6. Rename the txt file you uploaded as .odometer.nameofyourjournal.  

7. Note the "dots" are vital as is getting the name of your journal exactly right - especially the capitals or lack of them as the case may be.  

8. Go back to your journal and switch the counter back on and everything will be fixed.  

Hope that helps.

  It is much easier to just use a different counter!   I got fed up with mine constantly resetting and imported a differnt one instead.
