    Hey @MaiShaaban,

    Remove the HTML tag and go to Adminstration Panel > General > Statistics > Google Analytics and add the account code!

    Should I wait for some time until it becomes verified?

    It can take time for Google to send their bot over to index the forum, but such should happen automatically.
