 * ERROR: WP Statistics has detected an unsupported version of PHP, WP Statistics
   will not function without PHP Version 5.3.0 or higher! Your current PHP version
   is 5.2.17.
 * The FAQ implies to ignore the error but there is no SETTINGS button available
   so no possibility to proceed

 * Why do you think it implies that?
 * WP Statistics requires PHP 5.3 or above, it will not work with PHP 5.2.

 * From this entry in the FAQ:
 * I’ve activated the plugin but the menus don’t show up and nothing happens?
 * WP Statistics requires PHP 5.3, if it has detected an older version of PHP installed
   it will active but it will display an error on your plugin list just below the
   WP Statistics entry to let you know.
 * No worries, I guess I misunderstood this. I upgraded to PHP 5.3 and all works
   fine.
 * Thanks for the quick response..

 * No problem, I’ll update the FAQ to be clearer.
