vb.org Archive - View Single Post - VBulletin Referral Tracking

This message is in regards to using referral links only, like the format shown here.

Example:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/index.php?referrerid=64319

I have been testing the referral feature on vBulletin, and noticed the referrer credit is only given if the visitor registers immediately upon arriving to the homepage. But in all those instances where the visitor decides to browse the forum before registering (or coming back a day later), the credit is LOST and not accounted for. I enjoy the script very much, but I see this being a HUGE problem - especially for those that rely on this feature. I have a modification request for someone to make the tracking more reliable.

Thoughts?
