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

I emailed the vBulletin support about referral problem, and they said the referral links are tracked by cookies. However, I still find that as soon as visitors start browsing the forum before registering, the referrer no longer receives the credit when they finally do register.

Today I got email from an VERY unhappy member:

"I have referred a MINIMUM of 5 people to this website...
honestly I believe this to be a higher number and yet I
have not been getting credit for them nor being listed
in the top 10 referrer section...you can be sure I will
NO LONGER promote this site!!!!?

I see this as a huge problem and it needs to be corrected. I still request a modification to fix this error if anyone has the time. I know it will make a lot of people happy to see this corrected. We can't ignore this.

I will go ahead and make another post in the "Service Requests" section to see if anyone?s interested in fixing this for a payment.

Thanks,
