Referrals System

Perhaps some more implementation of the Referrals system including telling users about it in their User CP and an option for users to earn reputation by referring users. Perhaps an extra option in the Search section to sort by number of referrals.

    Do you mean "Memberlist"?

    I agree the referred user should be integrated more into the forum, because right now it is not being used to its full potential.

  2. There is a plugin but it's buggy. It doesn't work in IE at all. I would love to see in usercp a link to Invite Friend where you referral link is sent to an input email address along with the members email address or site admin address as sender.

    Maybe I should just do the damn plugin from scratch myself...grrr...too many plugins I want to make!

    Anyways...I vote yes for this.

  3. Just put the code for fetching the reffereal stats that the admin sees from the admin files into the profile file.

    It will start showing the referal stats for that user.

  5. I would like to see a referrals system and then they get credit for referring them. Maybe even put in their profile how many people they have referred then maybe make it so that sometimes people with many referrals get higher search ranks and stuff. Just some ideas...
