It used to be that when someone clicked on your link, the referal number would stay in the linkbar, but now I noticed it redirects to the default homepage.
This means that all the people I have potentially refered through the website I was allowed to advertise on is lost in the list of users. :- I have been trying for ages to get my points up and now I begin to realize that there must be a problem.
I cannot email the support with the names I think registered on my referal as there is no way for me to know what random internet user clicked on my link
I think I have the same problem. No more credits for referrals ! And no ore payouts at the moment. I`m very concerned as I have seen many other sites having these problems right before disappearing...

There's no problems, it works just like it has always done. Except that once the session and cookie with the tracker ID has been made (placed on visitors computer) they are redirected to the frontpage, this is due to search engine stuff.
Otherwise, we would have thousands of different pages that would compete against eachother, ie. default.asp?t=123 is not the same as default.asp etc., and that's not good, search engine wise.
------------ I also just did a test signup:
* Hit were logged correctly at the tracker, even though the user is automatically redirected to default.asp afterwards (as supposed to)
* Signup was logged to the tracker
* Points were assigned when the user was approved.
And somehow we still keep getting points cashout and have been ever since this new redirect thing where made, some months ago, so unless they have found a magic way of earning mob points, then I don't know

Would this mean that if a person has a high security vs cookies and blocks all cookies, a click to my referal link with a signup would not be registered under my tracker? Seeing as there was no cookie put in to the users computer.

If that's the case, then he has to signup (enter his e-mail address, then the tracker is saved along with that, regardless of when he finishes his signup) before he quits the browser.
But in general there's no need to disable cookies, they are harmless and they mostly increase your web surfing experience (auto-login etc).
