Is anyone having this problem or is it just me? Today my adsense firefox referrals just disappeared and are no longer being displayed. I am located in the US so I shouldn't be affected by the new "rules" as per the adsense blog:

I hope I'm not the only one with this problem...

Adsense will support Referral Programs and pay fix on America and Europe!

I hope this is a temporary issue. They said that it would still be available for those in North America, so I wonder why it's still down :(

Huh. I had a long post I made earlier this morning on this thread, but it seems to have disappeared.
Text links are still showing, but other referrals are missing. I get a lot of pack and firefox referrals. I noticed issues last night, actually -- ads were still showing, but no credit for conversions.
Looks like I'm still getting the odd conversion but no $$ credit for them -- likely, the conversions are from people installing Firefox and pack software after downloading it earlier. But I should be getting $$ and I'm not. No ads showing now. I just put a text link up -- I'll report back if I don't get $$ from conversions from it.
I think Google has issues this morning. Hopefully, it won't take them weeks to fix it this time.

yep looks like the text link referrals are working--seems to be just the image referrals that are down.

For me all button-referrals disappeared - whether for adsense or for firefox. I went ahead and deleted the adsense ones - as I don't live in the USA they are going to be gone anyhow. Great - first they cheat us out of a way of making money - then the buttons stop working altogether.
I wasn't making that much on adsense-referals anyhow, but it still stinks.

its kind of annoying. I have whole pages built around firefox plugin, its the main reason I use adsense along with my other methods of income.

Well, if it helps, I replaced the graphic referral with a text referral link in a large, bold font. It seems to be converting just as well.
Given the number of times that the graphic buttons disappear -- including, lately, just at random intervals during busy periods of the day -- I may simply leave the text link there and call it done.
