Update:
After several calls and chats CCBill programmers have finally fixed the 404 problem.
However, if you notice, the legacy sign up page is now gonzo. The page that loads now is for the new WMS system.
This means that all CCBill programs that were migrated to WMS can only accept new affiliates into the new WMS system. The new affiliate id numbers being assigned can only use the new WMS linking codes and are not compatible with the old (Legacy) link codes.
As of 5 days ago that was not the case. Even though my program was migrated to the WMS I was still taking on new affiliates into the old Legacy system and was still using my existing tools coded for that system.
So now I have to scramble over the next few days and get a whole new set of tools coded for the new WMS link code structure. Which some of you know is a totally new and DIFFERENT type of link code which doesn't even contain the same webmaster id number that is assigned during the sign up process.
I would also like to reiterate that all the old link codes that are out there will still work and track and this problem is only affecting any new affiliates that sign up.
The problem that I have with this is that the only thing that a new affiliate is going to get when they sign up is a basic link code to the tours. And the only way that they are going to get them is from CCBill's WMS admin. (if they can figure out how) Because let me tell you that it is a lot different than the old Legacy admin.
What I am afraid of is if new webmasters try to insert their new WMS affiliate ID into the old style Legacy link codes. I have been told that they will not work.
And all of this happened without notice and was not disclosed when us sponsors decided to migrate to the new WMS.
I hope that this has been an informative post for those affected and are in my same situation.
I also have been promised to receive a call tomorrow in the AM from CCBill's head programmer of the new WMS system and I will keep you posted of the outcome.
Best Regards,
BV
