This is what a free module should be. It should do what is prommissed and surprise you in rich options. Small, clean (no tables) module fits every site and need for counters. And that without the need for heavy stats component. Good job! Thanks!

...and found here our counter:

-You can easily turn on / off all features of this counter
-You can set the desription in Backend (no language File is needed for frontend)
-configure the reload rule
-configure your old count

All is configured/installed in 5 minutes,
and we don't now if it is possible to make a better one..

I could probably give an excellent for this, however
I speak English.
No English documentation left me guessing.
Most of the settings are quite obvious, I think some of the more important ones are not.

If you are looking for a less cluttered but just as informative "visitors" mod, I suggest trying this one
---easy install.
I did not have to use another extension to place it into a menu like I have had to do with some of the other "visitor" mods.
