Thank you. So, if the person's laptop doesn't allow cookies then I guess it's not going to work? He's set his account up now, so I'm guessing it's just done it without the referral.

Yes, it requires cookies to work. We've had a few suggestions to allow manually setting a referrer or benefactor, which would be an alternative, but haven't implemented those suggestions yet.

I think, if that works better without cookies, it would be better, as I suspect a lot of people on SN probably have cookies turned off on a lot of their browsers. Thank you fro replying.
