I hope these changes will not affect us in a negative sense as has happened in other cases.
What do you think about that, guys?

The way I understand it,
Which I understand to mean, if you do not have the time to invest into getting your data and archiving it in a format you will able to access, the data will be gone forever....Quote:
The new system will only track new data from October 1st, so we kindly ask you to export any old reports that you wish to keep. Please do this before 00.01am October 4th when the old system is cut off
I will try and scramble to set aside the time to get this data, but I am a little more than disturbed that we have been given less than 96 hours to retrieve the data.

Edited to add: I have always liked Deckmedia a lot and I do feel their stats are accurate, they pay well etc. I think they dropped the ball here on warning us far in advance of this change so we could have gotten most historical data....say last month...
Unless they just decided they were gonna do this the last few days....(I'm sure that is NOT the case...they just decided not to tell us until the last few days before the change)
To be fair - Deckmedia don't actually have much data in their old affiliate system.
:eyebrow:
Hopefully the new affiliate system will have a few more standard affiliate reporting tools.
To clarify my statement of why historical data is so important to me....
The ever important CAMPAIGN data will likely be lost for me...
Every single click I have ever sent them has had a campaign attached to it.
The plus is that old links will continue to work, so that is a good thing for those that do not get links changed quickly.
