What's a Referral?

I've just been updating my profile and have noticed that under the heading referal it says I have 1. I've got no idea what this is and any explanation would be great.

Re: What's a Referal?

It just means that somebody typed in your name when they registered.

To be honest, I don't quite understand it either--I'm showing I have 2 referrals, but I know I haven't referred anybody. Maybe new members just type in some name, who knows?

Check out the FAQ for more info.

Re: What's a Referal?

"The administrator may have enabled referrals, which allows you to be credited for any new users you invite to the forum."

As I understand it they work if people follow a link to these forums which you have given somewhere.

FAQ tells how to establish the link.

Re: What's a Referral?

Thank's for your help guys now I seem to have some better understanding of it, Should've checked the FAQ's before I posted.

Re: What's a Referral?

When people register, they have the option of filling in a name, too. Maybe somebody filled in your name.

Re: What's a Referral?

Yes, people can type in any name they want in that box. You know who our top "referrer" is, according to referral stats? Google!
