I'm glad to hear it.

The whole premise is to put into place, more ways to make the referrer stats more 'tamper-proof.'

Kinda a Part II to this is that which was mentioned in the 'Bottom Line' of the post for SHARED COMPUTER users. That's why I created another thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101027) to begin trying to address the 'bbreferrerid' cookie feature.

Currently, I'm not sure if/how this should be addressed. I hope to get some feedback. In the meantime, I am using this code mod regardless since it addresses the majority of the concern mentioned in the thread referenced at the beginning of the code mod. The rest I'll worry more about as time goes on...

If the 'bbreferrerid' cookie has an expiration, then this would be essentially a non-issue. But the flip side of this is, if a person couldn't finish their registration in that period in which the cookie is 'active', they may not necessarily use the initial URL with referrerid and it becomes a wash, anyway... :squareeyed:

In essence, this whole cookie concern may be a non-issue -- for some, 'so what if the stats are off 2 out of 200'...

I hope to get more feedback about the code mod as well as from those who know more about the infamous 'vb referrer cookie', because I don't know enough about it. :lick:

Take care.
