Kaz can you explain how Send limits under Manage tab works exactly? Every 30 minutes the set amount, and thats it until the next 30 minutes? If so thats great.
If I understood you correctly, then yes, that's how it works. The system counts how much did you spent and resets this every 30 minutes. If it gets more than the limit you set before resetting, payouts will be blocked until it resets.
Question about Faucetbox upgrade..
I did exactly what the instructions say:
Backup config.php, transfer all files (r62) to host, replace with backup config.php
Then the page just won't load, i get error 500.
Do i have to delete SQL db and start a new one?
Set $display_errors = true; in your config.php file. Does it show anything else now? If not, check your server logs. You don't have to delete the database, it wasn't updated in a way that would cause such issues. Most likely you have PHP older than 5.4.
Faucetbox doesnt count referrals properly.today my friend made two separate claims with my referrals.i cant see them but i see only referral reward which i dont know who made it.
Faucetbox referral system is bad for affiliates.
It doesn't lock the ref address so only way to keep getting the ref bonus is that your referrals use/bookmark your full ref link for every claim they make.
So if they click your link and claim and then bookmark the site address without your ref address in it and keep claiming via that link, you will get paid for only the first claim.
That's not true. Referrals are assigned to the address. So if user that uses address ABC uses a faucet with a referral link of XYZ, and then visits the faucet directly, in both cases XYZ will get the claim. What's more even if user with address ABC visits the faucet again, but with referral of DEF, still it's the XYZ who will get referral payout.
If you run your own faucet, you can check the Faucetinabox_Refs table in database, this data is stored there.
EDIT: but also please remember, that FaucetBOX.com as a service doesn't handle referrals at all. Faucets do it on their own and the behavior I described applies to Faucet in a Box script, other scripts may work differently.
