So, how am I supposed to distinguish who uses my buddy invite?

I'm using this new link for the buddy invite program, but it's unfortunate that when some one uses my 'link' to sign up for my buddy program, all that is shown is "link" where normally an email would go if I were to send an invite to a specific email.

Sure, I guess I can ask people to jot down what time they subscribe, but that can be tedious. Is there any way you can improve the new link feature so that it shows what email a person used to create their account through the buddy invite link?

Wait a minute, are you the guy in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns9oAGnK9CU

That's the most hilarious thing about EVE I've ever seen.

This only shows the email address if you sent the buddy invite to an email address. If you go and read the OP in full, you will note that the complaint is that the email address is not presented when someone clicks your buddy invite link (which you might post on Facebook, in the EVE forums, or elsewhere).

Thus you are faced with the difficulty of determining which of the people that have outstanding Buddy Invite trials is the one that subscribed.

It would make life much easier for inviters if Buddy Invites issued through the open invite system would display the name of the first character created on the account started through the Buddy Invite link.
