I see some 468*60 banners but no 125*125 banners.
If possible Andy, please whip up some 125*125 banners (or other sizes 250, 300, 728*90, 160*600) so we can more effectively promote Rockettheme. (Though I think 125*125 banners are more common as more people are running blogs.
Thanks,
Mike

The 150*50px banner is also gone - all there is left are huge banners that don't fit into a sidebar too well. Please consider to bring back some smaller graphics as well.
Note to everyone: Affiliate links have changed! They are now in the format: www.rockettheme.com/joomla?xyz= <your affiliate id number>
The "Earnings & Statistics" section in the new affiliate software is mediocre at best; it doesn't show data over time any more, just a very, VERY basic summary. And there is an error in the Commissions part - it shows all my past commissions as "unpaid" (maybe I should just shut the hell up before someone finds out ... :cheesy: )
I guess you RT guys still have your share of loose ends to fix ... just some pointers.
Kind regards,
Zorro

The old affiliate system was almost unusable for me as an administrator. Due to very poor coding and design, it was doing thousands of queries for every page load. It would take hours just to check/pay affiliates. I switched to this new simple system because I am able to make changes to it myself and add features/fix things as needed. Yes, it's simplistic, but it works better and is much faster than the old system. Also you can now go to any RT page you like with just the ?xyz=[AFFID} format, and it will track you. That's allows you to go to template detail page etc, rather than just the homepage.
We are working on creating a bunch more banners, and should have those up today.
On the commisions area, i'll check that but the migration of the data is correct in the admin side, and it shows the exact same payments due as the old affiliate system did, so i know the migration went well.

We've uploaded a whole smattering of new banners, in various sizes and for the Joomla and phpBB3 clubs. I've add symbolic links to the old banner images, so they will point to the new images. Also I've rewritten the query on the front-end so that it provides accurate information. Kinda helps
BTW, didn't mention this before, but old affiliate links will STILL WORK , just the new link system is better.

- We have uploaded 80 banners in a selection of the most popular sizes. It will be a while before we can get back and create more. I suggest you take one of the others sizes and resize it to your needs in the meantime.
