I have now tweaked my <Files “*”> section to once again allow only my permitted IP addresses, and to add:
Allow from 127.0.0.1
…and the tracking code fields still seem to be working
Now I also seem to see the following in the “stalled loading”(?) section of the Firebug output…
/plugins/Morpheus/images/logo.svg
/plugins/Morpheus/images/loading-blue.gif
/plugins/Zeitgeist/images/reload.png
/plugins/CoreHome/images/reset_search.png
logo.svg does appear on the page, and the other 3 images appear to be ‘display:none’ (or otherwise hidden) by default, so possibly these are just red herrings…?
