    Streamate redesign results in 404s without affiliate ID

    Under the previous design, a link to an inactive/deleted performer would redirect a visitor to the main page with an affiliate ID. Under the new design, visitors are redirected to the homepage without an affiliate ID -- 404 is within the URL instead.

    I've compiled numerous profiles, many of which are dead (but kept in circulation), and much of my traffic is no longer being tracked. I understand that linking to deleted profiles isn't ideal, however I maintain a database of sorts and this change is impacting revenue.

    How can this be remedied?

      Your Affiliate ID is not lost in this scenario. It tracks in a cookie, so you do get commission for sales that funnel through performers that are no longer on the platform.
