Why are statistics not working properly?

Statistics are not working properly
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Our stats are not real time stats. For details see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and note the views and viewers take hours to update.
Please do not assume that everyone who clicks a like button actually reads the post on your blog because odds are they may not.
Also note that those who follow your blog in the Reader or by email don’t have to click into the blog unless they wish to.
Likes and shares and comments and reblogs and follows are not page views. In fact, likes, shares, comments and reblogs are completely misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com/Gravatar account who is logged into WordPress.com can “follow” your blog, “like”, “share” and “reblog” your posts in several locations such as the Reader, without ever clicking into your blog and creating a single page view stat.
Visitors using a mobile can read the full post without creating a page view stat. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-reader-show-full-text?replies=31#post-1373606
You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here > Settings > Reading. Choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed rather than to “full text”. That will compel followers who are not using mobiles to click into the blog to read the full post which will create a page view stat.

there is more about the statistics: when I click “statistics” the page stays blanc. Until now the only way to view them, was to first go to “my blogs”, and in that view click “statistics”. This has been going on for months. I put up with it, hoping that wordpress would be aware of the problem and find a work around soon.
Today even that doesn’t work.
Can you get the service running again please?
(ps: don’t expect me to reply to any questions today: I am working – no access to this all day) -

Wow! that was quick! It’s all working again: the read post on logging in, the first link to stats! Thank you!

I have to retract that compliment: same issue again. On Internet Explorer. Recent version. For the Chromebrowser the issue is solved
