if your counter displays the above image you have not included the 
        count name in your string?
1. In the string:
        http://www.freecounters.co.uk/count-XXX.pl?count=countername&type=counterstyle 
        
the count=countername is an instruction 
        to our server to find the counter count for your web page! if you do not 
        include this name the counter will not work! you need to insert these 
        details exactly as you first received them in your html and your counter 
        will work again.
In all cases you will not loose your existing Count of your counter!
