OK, I've set it all up, I've been viewing results, and it all looked good - then I had a problem with my FTTC.
So I swapped out the Billion 8800n for the HG612 and TG582n, just to eliminate that.
The program kept running, but couldn't get anything from the (still locked) HG612.
Since changing made no difference I changed back, and now appear to be getting valid data again - which I assume is going up to the MyDSLWebStats site, via my registration.
But I can't log in - Even when clicking the link in the GUI which should take me there. If the GUI can store the required information to push data onto the site, it certainly should be possible to use the same information to read what you've pushed up there!
All it takes me to now is the guest page.
My browser has remembered my password, but there's so much other faff involved in fighting my way into the login screen that I just can't remember (Is it really necessary to have username, password, memorable phrase, Captcha AND a Q & A on what the capital of England is?
Having all that stuff is contrary to all basic tenets of decent security, since the result is that you HAVE to write it down somewhere - and that is a security risk.
Once registered, a user should only need username and password, with complexity requirements on the password if you feel the need to be more secure than average.
Captcha is only necessary for registration.
And I was under the impression when I registered that the other stuff would only ever be needed if I lost my password, which is saved in my browser and backed up (unlike that of any site with properly sensitive data on it, btw - I keep a strongly encrypted file with a record of all of those, stored somewhere else with an air-gap between it and the internet).
Do you really think you need stronger security than paypal or most banks?
Or the MOD (for whom I have set up security, so some well qualified people other than myself seem to think I know just a little bit about it).
AND THERE'S NO FACILITY FOR RESETTING LOGIN INFORMATION WHEN IT GETS LOST!
fix it please, as it is useless in it's current form.
Once you make the mistake of logging out, you can never get back in!
