Hi Staff,
I just posted a "Good Reference " for Don Matwe, screen name "squalie". The reference omitted both our emails and gave me a score of 1952 which is off by about 1200%. Did I do something wrong? If not, could the administrators amend my post?
Thanks Sandy Death

Problem posting a reference
I very much prefer to do all communications by email rather than PMs. Here's mine: Ralphf52@aol.com You can check my references here using my last name "Famiglietti or on eBay using "captainralph". 513 @100%. I can take photos and accept Paypal. Tons of free cell minutes so calling or exchanging phone numbers is not a problem. I Live in Prospect CT 06712 USA and don't mind doing a little driving if you're close. (I can meet you halfway)

Re: Problem posting a reference
I think you should report the problem in Trademaster Adam's Bug Report thread. Although, I think he knows about that bug by now. All of my references are doing the same thing. Although, it doesn't change your "reference score" on the boards, just on the references pages.

Re: Problem posting a reference
I'm locking this thread, as there is already a thread for posting problems (as Adun has pointed out - Thanks, Adun).
This is a KNOWN issue. I discovered it during testing. TMA still went live with it because (1) he made a promise and (2) it isn't a huge problem. I'll explain:
The ITL updates in 2 places. For simplicity, I'm going to call it a "back page" and a "front page."
When you post a reference, it goes to both pages. On the back page, it bumps EVERYONE's score up by 2 points for a positive (and a negative drops it by 10), while not adding anything onto their reference "list" that shows the comments, etc. of the person who left it. The FRONT page, however only updates the score of the person who SHOULD receive the ref. The FRONT page is the important part, at this point, because THAT is what affects the number to the right of your username on the forums.
Hope that cleared it up.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

Ahhh! Then it would work better for me if the screw up was on the "front page".
