Why my Reference hasnt changed?
Maybe i'm a bit lost but, i have been receiving many good references that dont appear on the check reference section. The only ones that appear are the first 9 trades i made.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
Did you change email addresses? Your rating shows 58 on my screen. I had this problem until they were integrated. Searching by username instead of email address might show the number I am seeing. Maybe not, just taking a pot shot at it.
Sure MM will fill you in better than I am able. He should be around anytime...this is a thread just begging for his particular talents of Post Pimping (and as bad as that sounds, he probably DOES know exactly why)!

Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

Well, I *WAS* going to post a reply in this thread but, since Gobbo... errr... Stanislav was so RUDE to me, I will just not post anything.
Oops. Too late.
Actually, Stan's got the gist of it.
It's probably got something to do with how you're searching. If you're searching by name or email address, and they didn't insert those when leaving the ref, it's not going to pull anything up.
Is the # next to your User Name correct? It should be (it uses your username for collecting the ref's).
I don't have it but someone (I don't recall whom, but I'm sure they'll be along soon) has the link you can use to search by User Name instead of the other options.

If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my underwear!
Buy, sell or trade....it's all the same to me. Lower refs pays/ships first!
Tyrants can not be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows. Action, strong bold action coming from a position of strength and determination, is the only effective deterrent.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
My email address is still the same and i check my ref by email address, maybe its what Stanislav said. Still, a trader i'm working with this week told me that i had no references and when i check i only have 18 and the list of ref left is just 9 traders long and when i'm logged i cant see my ref number.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
Which layout of the boards are you using?
Under your User Control Panel, under Board Preferences, make sure you are set to "prosilver" as subsilver2 has display issues for some members.
If you ARE using prosilver at the moment.. I dunno.. when I click on your references (which is next to your username in prosilver), I get this.
ref_view.php?user_id=13371

2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.
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.
I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
Hey, it worked. Was a bit frustrated just thinking i lost all those precious references, Thanks everyone for your time.
Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
It is weird. Searching for my feedback nets a much lower number that should show up. I think posts are showing the right number though.
Also I was in Prosilver and switched to subsilver to see. In that I can't even find a way to post/check refs.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
It has to do with how they were left. If they didn't use your name, for example, searches "by name" won't show those ref's... Same for email address.jlong05 wrote:It is weird. Searching for my feedback nets a much lower number that should show up. I think posts are showing the right number though.

Only the onle by your User Name should be presumed to be correct.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
Yeah I figured that was the case. I did change my signature to have a link to my references. I know that any posts I make show it, but have noticed that PMs and such don't so that may be a way to provide that information still.MagickalMemories wrote: It has to do with how they were left.

Kind of scary when you do a search and only half shows up.(Actually, looking at it I think it only shows what was there prior to the site change when the new ref system got turned on)
No big deal. The refs exist, just have to look a little harder. Does anyone know if the Admins were planning to add a search by userid option to the 'Check References'? That would probably help for some of us.
Also would they like any assistance on the programming or database management? I am a programmer for Discover Financial and my emphasis is Web-based application development and MySQL databases. I don't currently code in php, but have in the past and can pick it back up pretty quickly.

Re: Why my Reference hasnt changed?
Adam HAS talked about looking for someone to work on the ITL in the past. I don't know all the details, though.
You should PM Linrandir and include your qualifications, so he can forward it to Adam.
