UBB Help
There's not going to be a perfect system. I would suggest adding a form field for a referral code - allow the user to enter the referral code that the affiliate sends in the email. Append the referrer ID to the url as you mentioned as well. You could get into using cookies. But then you get into storing more info on the server side as well - set a cookie when a user visits with an ID appended to the url. Check for cookies when a user is signing up, and match it up accordingly... Bottom line though, is that you will inevitably get users who were referred that you cannot track properly. Question is how far do you want to go to cut down that number? [url=http://in-dented.com/sigs.html][img]http://in-dented.com/sigs/knot_sig_32.gif[/img][/url]
