FOR 9 SNAPSHOTS that show that Refer-A-Friend does not behave as expected, please see sub-task https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-865 , "User at any level: Reproduce the problem. Use your own referral link to create an alt. Referrer's Calling Card yes or no?" I own slnamewatch.com. Before July 2008 I regularly received calling cards representing new users of Second Life who signed up via my referral link, http://www.secondlife.com/join/?u=b494b5309a2a0ef3a6ea71c8bd7e4bd2 , or my alt's, Nicolas Biddle's, referral link, http://www.secondlife.com/join/?u=265d1332e5654100823cef53d7bbcb10 which I display on slnamewatch.com. Many of these new SL residents upgraded to premium, resulting in referral bonuses to Nicolas or Adz. In July suddenly the referral calling cards stopped appearing in Adz' and Nicolas's inventory. I thought maybe my website's visitors had suddenly stopped using my links since SL's registration system had been improved rendering my website less useful. However, after a couple months with no new calling cards at all, I suspected that there might be a glitch. So I created another alt, named Data Scribe, to test the health of SL's referral system. Data Scribe did not receive a calling card of his referrer upon signup! This seems to further explain why my referrals have dried up since July 2008, with the only referral money being from residents who signed up before July 2008 and eventually upgraded. It is as if my referral URL is wrong, but I've checked it again and again. You can see it in place, here. http://slnamewatch.com/botlog/last_avail_log.html under the link named "Linden Lab®'s Official Registration Portal Join Now." It has had over 5,000 unique page views since July. I can't prove it, but I find it hard to believe that zero of those visits resulted in a new Basic signup to SL. Something in the referral system is broken. Support Ticket #: 4051-5377452 (Closed by LL with direction to post to JIRA)
