I have a couple questions regarding how these are accessed as MOTL members. I've got 43 references, but only 18 of those are confirmed members, despite the fact that every single one of my trades has been through MOTL, and that seems a little low. I know some will not show because they use a different email than the one associated with their MOTL account, but I know that isn't the case for all 25 of my MOTL references that aren't showing up as refs.

In fact, an example would be the user maitredejeu. I've done like, 3 trades with him, and he uses the email address olivier.ouellet@usherbrooke.ca as his MOTL email address. This exact email address is on my refs, but there is no user associated with his name. When you search for users by email address and enter his email address, it doesn't show up, but if you search for his user name and check his profile, that email address is there.

Why are so many of my references, even though they are MOTL refs, not showing up as such?

On a related note: I'd like to change the email address I use on the site to another email address I check more often, but I'm unsure on how that will impact refs that I have given to others. Since the refs would be coming from an email no longer associated with my account, would the refs go from being confirmed MOTL member to just a ref, or is it based on when the ref was created?

There is a bug in the refs that is causing some MOTL refs to appear as non-MOTL refs.

Changing your email won't affect past refs. They'll still show as MOTL refs (assuming they don't get impacted by the above bug, I'm unsure if that would come into play) and will update to the new email address the next time each user's ref list is modified.

I see... That's unfortunate, I s'pose, but good to know. Is there a possibility that it will be fixed at some point, and then because the ref emails on my list match existing user names, they'll be updated to MOTL refs?
