Curious. Not too long after this update, the referrer information in all 3rd party stats programs tracking Typepad blogs (including the Typepad stat program) has been blocked, or removed, prior to being recorded. So, we haven’t the slightest clue as to where a visitor is coming from.

Spoke with reps at Six Apart about this, and they agree that it is a problem on their side. Not quite sure why they haven’t mentioned anything on any of their sites. This would save people (like myself) from researching for hours to try and resolve the problem.

Guess it’s a hush-hush thing until it’s resolved.
