 * I too had the stats page suddenly blocked, as others are reporting. Today when
   I logged in everything was fine – until I looked at some of the stats it’s reporting.
 * The data is showing hundreds of pageviews and link clicks for YESTERDAY, for 
   a post that didn’t get published until today at noon.
 * Just how valid are any of these stats now??

 * Getting the same invalid stats. The information on the stats page doesn’t match
   the graph, dates where I know I had a certain number of views now show a different
   amount. My graph shows 24 views for today, but the stats below show them all 
   as yesterday.
 * Hopefully they’ll get this sorted soon.

 * I have the same problem folks…..
 * I’ve had it for the last two days…
    I called up my hosting company thinking something
   was wrong…. It wasn’t them…. It’s the plug-in…
 * I’m now checking my stats on the WP.Com stats display that came with the 3.1 
   upgrade…Thank goodness for that….
 * I like the plug-in…
    But right now it’s usless…..

 * Unfortunately my site is self-hosted. And things are still wonky this morning.
   The Chart shows 1,300 total page views, the list shows the home page alone has
   had 2,300. Eh??

 * Ok….My bad….
 * If you’re self hosted get the WP-Stats Plugin..It works it from Automatic/Wordpress….
 * Ah, just to let everyone know…
 * The WP-Stats Plugin now doesn’t give the name of the post..
    just it’s number
   and …..Hold on….
 * He, he, he….Ok…check that….The names are back..and a drop in 300 numbers …..
 * Lets see….Obviuously in 3.1….yourself hosted site now talks to wordpress.com….
   You can switch between your self hosted and .com dashboard…
    Which means that
   whatever is screwing up the non-WP states plugin is also messing with the WP 
   one….. I hope someone from wordpress looks at this forum..because something makes
   me think this a 3.1 bug running around….

 * I don’t know if it is a 3.1 bug or not, but I have been running 3.1 since it 
   came out and the stats didn’t start getting screwed up until this past week. 
   I was blocked from viewing them for most of a day and when they came back, everything
   was messed up. It seems to be switching days in the middle of the afternoon, 
   instead of at midnight.

 * That’s exactly what I experienced. It actually lagged a day because it reported
   Thursday stats from something I posted at noon (East coast) Friday. Very confusing
   indeed!

 * Ok…thanks people….I’ll go along with that….
 * anyways if you don’t have the wp-stats plugin you might want to upload it…I trust
   those stats..even if they are also a little screwy with the post names…

 * Wow, things are totally screwed up now, here’s the message I get when I try to
   log in to my dashboard: “We’re experiencing some problems on WordPress.com and
   we are in read-only mode at the moment. We’re working hard on restoring full 
   service as soon as possible, but you won’t be able to create or make changes 
   to your site currently. “
 * There’s no access to the dashboard at all.
 * Seriously? I feel sorry for them, I’d be in total panic by now!

 * wordpress.com is currently experiencing system-wide issues that are impacting
   on some Jetpack users. They are working on fixing them, so all should be resolved
   asap.

 * I never down loaded jetpack…I already have several of the plugins it has in it……
 * My self-hosted site has numbers for tomorrow…..
    gheez…..
 * Has some hacked WordPress?
    Or is this a 3.1 gremlin?

 * No hacks, just bit of a systems issue. Things should iron themselves out momentarily.
 * If you still experience time-realted issues tomorrow, try setting your blog to
   a different timezone in the Settings section of your Dashboard, then set it back.

 * Thanks Sir!
