GA and Hostname Change

Hello All,

I recently changed the GA settings to show the full hostname instead of paths as set by default. It's been over two weeks now. For any date range set after the change is made, I see the full hostname as expected. But when I set the date range past the change, it's showing double entries for all the URLs/Pages/Landing Pages reported.

Example:
/somefolder/somepage.aspx
www.example.com/somefolder/somepage.aspx

Is that obvious? How do I get it sorted out? I just don't want to count two different figures of a single URL to make a final report :(

Thanks for the help!

I've not done that myself, and, if i understand what you've done, it appears to be very odd. It may be a bug in the UI.

If you switch it back, what happens?

Thanks. I'm not sure what will happen if I switch back. But switching it back seems a good idea where I have to deal with double entries for quite a week rather than keep it like this and struggle a lot latter :(

May be this setting should be done at the time of any new GA account.
