Pageviews by Browsers
Entry Pageviews
; 53 (75%) ------------------------------
Chrome 8 (11%)
Firefox 5 (7%)
Internet Explorer 2 (2%)
Opera 1 (1%)
Safari 1 (1%)
So what does the ";" mean? As noted, there are 53 visits from it. Bot? Scraper? Worse? What?
The associated operating system appears to be Windows

Windows 65 (92%) ------------------------
Macintosh 3 (4%)
Linux 1 (1%)
iPhone 1 (1%)
And here is what is probably the final nail in the coffin:
Entry Pageviews
China 57 -----------------------
United States 9

I'm beginning to think it is a ping terminator? But what would be the point of whoever is doing that? And for doing it 53 times?
OK, I'm pretty sure those 53 whatever's are hitting a different page on the site each occurrence.
A benign thought. Baidu SE? But in that case, what's with the OS being Windows?
No clues found in various non-HP tech forums yet... Google general search also useless.
It just means what browser they used to look at your hub, for example if i looked at one of your hubs with firefox and at another with my ipad , it will show once with firefox and once with safari.
It doesn't actually make a difference to us writers, of more importance is the part that tells us where our pageviews came from, google , bing , hubpages etc. As that will give us an idea of which market is more interested in our articles.
Agreed. However, ";" appears to mean that the site-page was accessed with a non-browser. But yet, still accessed. So, the question is: accessed by what?
Aha - it's Apple's new i-Watch - perhaps someone in China (where they usually make Apple stuff) was testing the i-Watch!!!!!
This curious access has been going on for quite awhile. And it keeps claiming "Windows", but ";" instead of IE or whatever.
Don't tell me Apple are now using the Windows OS - no wonder their stock is dropping so quickly!!!
I have concluded that life has ended as we know it. But I still want to know what ";" means in the browser category.
And I'll keep hammering this until through Wednesday I guess. Do want answer.
Statistically speaking it is most of the remainder. Thus probably visits where the browser used could not be identified.
I may have to decide to puzzle about you.
Question still remains. What does ";" mean?
It is the arbitrary signifier for "no browser identified"--probably not even deliberate in nature but an accident of code.
A came across something about PHP that substantiates that. Just wish they weren't from China....

So, there's this 'sort of new' utility labeled "graph" at the top of the 'my account' page where all our hubs are listed.I tried it out the first time I saw it, and it was rather interesting. However, that is the only time it ever worked. Now, it does not load, and just sits...

For the last several days if I wish to share a good hub from a HP author with my followers, it won't do it for some reason. Is anyone else having this problem?

For anyone who upgraded to Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer 11 came with it and you may have noticed that you can enter links in your hubs through this browser.It still works in Firefox 25, but just a heads up!

Which browser works best for HubPages? I would like to build more Hubs, but my Chrome browser doesn't work too well on HubPages. Firefox seems to work fine on HubPages, but not so much on other sites. What browser do you guys recommend for HubPages?

Is Google Chrome, or Firefox, better than Internet Explorer?I'm wondering if I'm going to run into problems with these. Has anyone compared these search engines? Which is the best one to use with Windows 7 ?
