If a user only wants his referring linkcode

If a user only wants his referring linkcode ? What shall he use ?

Right now all i see (as a user) is the image/banner ref links
Ex:

<a href="http://mysite.com/">My VisioList<img src="http://mysite.com/button.php?u=sonia" alt="My VisioList" style="display: none;" width="1px" height="1px" /></a>

The HREF only shows the main domain ? Nothing related to user.

In other words. For now the only way clicks can be counted, is by clicking on the image with the code encoded ?

Nope, it lists only domain for SEO reasons, once someone clicks the link ( image doesnt play any role here, a plain link would also work ).
Once someone clicks it, the script makes some checks in the background if the site the voter came from is registered on your toplist, thats how it gets the correct user

The code your quoted there is needed in case you have pageview counting enabled in admin settings, thats what the invisible button is for.
If you not make use of pageview counting, you can safely edit link_code_type_link.html of your skin and remove the img tag.

How will this work if they use a free host somewhere, for example createaforum.com, and not their own domain?
I need a linking code to be sure they get their hit counted. And I need unique clicks and not hits like now. I have clicked my link 3 times and it says 3 in. That is just asking for people to cheat.
I checked to use a gateway to see what it looks like but didn't get any.

There is a setting in admin -> settings -> Buttons -> Google-friendly links

If you uncheck that you should see link code in the user control panel and after signup that is something like

http://mysite.com/?a=in&u=usernname

I did uncheck it and it didn't make a difference on the textlink listed ontop. But I see now that it works on the other links so I missed it - sorry about that. But why does it not update the textlink?

Thats a good question, I'll have a look in the next day or so and let you know.
