Was that way for my alternate account, and my friend didn't see that when she registered, either. Admittedly, I have seen someone else say this on the forums.... perhaps it is a bug of some sort?

I'm confused. Do you mean that there is a name already pre-filled into the resident referral box?

Yes. It was first brought to my attention by a friend, giving the avatars name. I thought nothing of it at that point. Last week I signed up another account, and that same name was there. I back paged to see if the box would be checked and sure enough it was. This person would have got the L$.

Did you follow a link? I think every resident has a personalised link that will automatically fill in their name in the refferal box.. Maybe it remembers it if you've ever visited one?

If you go to SecondLife.com through a referral link from a resident, the name will be pre-filled into the form now. This persists through a cookie I believe. This is nothing new actually, it has done this for a very long time. What is unclear is if each new referral link you click wipes out the previous one or not - that I am not sure of.

No this was typing the url in the browser. _____________________

duh *slaps head*, sorry I see what you are saying now. If that's the case, a lot of extra referral credits are being generated.

You must have previously clicked a referral link at some point, and it is stored in your cookies. Regardless, none of it matters as the referral bonuses are suspended during the free account period. _____________________

Can only assume it's a pretty stubborn cookie I guess. _____________________
