 * I see many posts about this but am unable to resolve it.
 * On activating the ‘wordpress.com stats’ plugin after upgrading from 2.3.1 to 
   2.3.2 I get:
 * > Error from last API Key attempt:
   >  The owner of that API Key (markmelch) is 
   > not on the access list for this blog. When this blog was registered, markmelch’s
   > API key was used. To add you to the access list, markmelch must visit this 
   > blog’s stats dashboard page and use the form at the bottom of that page. <br
   > > The WordPress.com Stats Plugin is not working because it needs to be linked
   > to a WordPress.com account. <br> Enter your WordPress.com API key to link this

 * The API is owned by markmelch.wordpress.com and is used at medicalqigong.wordpress.
   com, artist.melchiorre.com, and family.melchiorre.com. It is family.melchiorre.
   com that I am having trouble with. markmelch is an admin on all sites.
 * On the 3 sites that I can access stats all 4 appear in the switch drop down.
 * Only artist.melchiorre.com has an ‘add user’ form on the stats page.
 * Thanks in advance for your help.

 * I have the same problem. I can’t find any sort of answer to this. Stats gets 
   a freaking standing ovation from me for creating so many headaches.
