 * Hi,
 * I’ve tried several times to add my IP to the Excluded IP address list under Settings
   > Exclusions in the WP Statistics plugin. I keep getting the following error:
 * > “Bad Request
   > Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.”

 * By the way, I’m getting the same error message when trying to enable GeoIP collection…

 * You’ll need to look at your web server logs to see what is happening, it’s likely
   a local configuration issue with the web server.

 * I’m a noob, so I’m sorry to say I have no idea what to look for, or even where
   to find the web server logs… :-/
 * Could you assist?

 * Unfortunately that’s outside of the scope of what I can help you with, I’d suggest
   getting in touch with your hosting provider and see if they can help you with
   it.
