    Empty ref-field

    Hi,
    I've tested my ref link (hidden in vbseo.pl), clicked 'Buy It Now' and what I see..? The field 'Referred By (affiliate ID)' is empty. Is it correct? Shouldn't be there my affilate ID?

    When it is linked like that, it should add a cookie to the browser. IIRC they can manually insert ID, but it is not needed as the cookie is already set. I will flag this for a confirmation.

    Okay, well what I said was correct. You can use it as an either/or in case it did not save their cookie.

    You cannot be your own affiliate. The system likely strips out your affiliate as a fraud attempt.

    Brian, what are you talking about? I don't want to use my own affiliate. I'm just testing my ref-link. Did I understand you?
