 * My blog is all about user registrations, and I’ve just found out that WP.com 
   Stats ignores ANY logged in user. I thought it was just the admin.
 * There must be a way to edit the plugin’s code to make it detect any logged in
   user that isn’t the admin? Right?

 * I’ve reported this problem to them before, but they never seem to get around 
   to fixing it… Annoying, I know.
 * Find this code:
 *     ```
       if ( !empty($current_user->ID) || empty($options['blog_id']) )
       	return;
       ```
   
 * Change it to this:
 *     ```
       if ( current_user_can('manage_options') || empty($options['blog_id']) )
       	return;
       ```
   
 * This will make it only ignore users who have the “manage_options” capability,
   which is generally only administrators.
