New Feature Added

I have added a new feature to the forums: Referral tracking.

You will notice in your profile that there are three new statistics that the forums now track:

Referrals: The amount of members that have actually signed up as a result of you directing them to the forums.

-Referral hits: The amount of times people have thought about signing up for a membership as a result of your efforts.

-Referral link: This link can be placed on a web page, email, another forum, etc in order to have new members sign up and give you credit for the registration. Prospective members have 60 days to sign up for a membership before the cookie will expire.  Of course, if the user clears their cookies, you will not be credited for the sign up.

In the future I plan on having referral contests to see who can send the most members this way. We're talking quality members here. Not Bobby Dodgerson type members.

So as long as they are quality clients, I'm all for it. Make sure you have the hoes tested before letting them come.  :roll:
