I am thinking it may be a spelling error. Or spacing? Try it a few different ways.

When you set up your bartertown account, did you change from the default skin for the site to one of the other options? I had done that when I set up my account ages ago and it messed up a few things. Try ensuring that everything is set to default values in your options, and see if that helps.

Edit: Maybe that option is gone these days, I couldn't find it when I looked.. it was quite a while ago :)

I believe he means the user who's references you are trying to check.

Have you tried it on a different browser? Maybe an extension, adblock or noscript or something is interfering with the process of copying their name into the form on the next page... Try downloading Chrome or something and see if that helps?

made sure IE is the most current version..

then try using the compatibility mode if it's available.

Hm. An admin will have to look into this.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.
