This is what I got today in my Wordpress.com stats pic, instead of the usual visits graph:

This is most certainly a default picture shown when the Flash graph cannot load.¹

The good news is the issue is easy to solve:
* deactivate the Wordpress.com stats plugin
* reactivate it
* re-insert you API key, making sure to associate the new stats to the old blog

Ta dah!
That worked for me at least; you might have to restart your browser and epmty your cache.

This issue affected only Safari in my case; elsewhere people reports the same oddness in Firefox.

This bug seems occasional, and this explains why it looks pretty much undocumented.

I hope these tips helped you to push the Region A – Region B graphs out of the window.

Notes

1. Yes, the graph is made in Flash, as I had the doubtful pleasure to find out when trying to access the stats through my iPhone. [↩]
