Cyburbia "referral" links

[Michele Zone]

I sent a referral link to someone and they wrote back that it calls up an amusing error (file not found) page. Well, my own referral link does the exact same thing for ME, yet it presumably works because I have credit for referring Quijote. My thought is that it does that because the link is so you can join and I am already a member (his link also called up an error page for me, but, hey, I am also a member).

Can any of the more experienced Mods cast a little light on the question? Is there some way to check the link to make sure there isn't an error in the code? I don't think there is but I don't claim to have tons of technical expertise. :-D

Thanks in advance.

me, too!

The people I sent links to had the same experience... should I just tell them to join from the main page? Thanks.

Yes, have them join and become assimilated into the "Throbbing Brain"

She intends to, but that doesn't really answer the question: What is up with the "referral" links that direct you to an "error" page??? Apparently, ALL of the referral links do that. That is a deterrant to anyone wanting to refer people and also get credit for the referral. Why shouldn't she (or others) get credit for having folks join and get "assimilated"?

ROFLOL. Makes me feel better for being Clueless as a Newbie Moderator. :-D

Perhaps our Great Leader, Dan, can figure out what the deal is. :-}
