You can disable your GA plugin, and add inside head tags for more accurate statistics.
If you are using gateway page, dont forget to add there too. And i think GA needs little time to start counting results, or you can go to REAL TIME statistics and you can preview.
Ok I currently have it placed at the top of the wrapper.html in the child forum:

m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//

ga('create', 'UA-43849735-2', 'virtualtoplist.net');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<title>{$list_name} - {$header}</title>
<base href="{$list_url}/" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset={$lng->charset}" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
{$header_js_files}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="skins/{$skin_name}/screen.css" />
{$css_styles}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="skins/{$skin_name}/user.css" />
Hopefully thats right..
You said also about making sure you edit gateway page with the GA code, how do I edit the gateway?
thanks
