 * I got the problem to go away by closing my browser (clearing cache/history/etc)
   and the stats began to work normal once I logged back in the site.

 * Did you try deleting the plugin and downloading/installing it manually? Make 
   sure that only the stats.php is in the wp-content/plugins folder. Not the whole
   folder with the images and readme.txt

 * I tried deleting the stats.php file, clearing all my data, closing FF, signing
   back in, installed the stats.php again, activated it, and entered the API key,
   and sadly, I still come up with the error.
 * Thank you so much for trying to help!

 * Try installing an older version (if you have the back-up) and upgrading again.
   If you need the file, I have one still. I made a back-up of my blog before upgrading
   to WP v2.6
 * I am sure you can get older versions from the plugin’s page. Older versions are

 * The old one works fine, I’m going to wait with 1.3.1 for a bit.

 * Sorry folks! That was an issue in the WordPress.com servers. Version 1.3.1 is
   okay.
