Couple of questions on that:
  1. I got a referral this morning (see screenshot), but it's still showing "0" my referral page. Does it just take a little while to register in the system?

  1. I noticed that when I send the standard referral link (https://stacker.news/r/benwehrman) it gives the user a "👋 Welcome to Stacker News!" banner at the top, but when I add the referral suffix on a link to my profile (https://stacker.news/benwehrman/r/benwehrman), that banner does not appear.
Does that mean the referral link isn't applying properly if I link people to my profile? Or is it just a bug that the banner doesn't appear when you link them to your profile page?

@kr the same thing is happening to me, got two referrals so far after tweeting about it and the referrals aren't showing up on the referral page.
does it just take time to refresh?

Mhh, not sure, that might be a bug or we indeed don't refresh the chart (probably once per day?) as often. Will check and tell you more then

The banner only appears on the front page iirc. But it's definitely unrelated to referrals :)
It also only appears once. If you close it, we save in your browser local storage that you've seen it. So don't wonder if it shows up for someone new on SN :)

This a bug following my deployment yesterday. It's a UTC offset problem. I'll try to fix this today.
Those referrals should show up in 6 hours though

This should be fixed now. Also @roy you've got your recent search back. Or maybe I should just type breez 😄
