What does this mean in the profiles?

I think when you sign up you can enter the user name of the person who introduced you to the forums. For every person introduced the user gets +1 referrals.

I think that's how it works anyway.

yea that's right, I don't know if it is linked to anything else

cool.

i just thought it was a fan club thing. (e.g. people like our posts)

cool.

i just thought it was a fan club thing. (e.g. people like our posts)We show how much we like your posts by clicking on the little scales icon and giving you "reputation". :cool:

is there a way to see a absolute rep count?

is there a way to see a absolute rep count?Your own? Yes, just click on the balance and you will see how many rep points you have.

Thanks for the explanation, I'm used to an other vBulletin forum which has a total different layout and way of using the rep.

I think your total shows up under something else as well, but I'll have to get back to you when it shows up again. Talk about your random access, eh? :D

Wow. I had no idea about that reputation thing. This is the only forum I am in but you see you learn something new everyday!
Is there any way to know who has refered you? I don't remember when signing up that question being asked, but maybe because I found it myself so it didn't apply to me.
