Referrals

In the profile, about me, is Referrals at the bottom of the list.
What is that?
Thanks.

Maybe times when you were tagged in a post? But I haven't figured out if or how that can be done here.

Yours shows "2".
Mine shows "3".
I don't know either, and I can't click on it.
Have you ever bought or sold anything here?
I have but not much. 3 might be about right for me.

EDIT/UPDATE: I searched the "Feedback" forum in the Classifieds section.
I have 3 different feedback posts, matching the number of referrals in "about me".
The search function only found 1 for you (cephas) and it was feedback you left
for another user, Glocke12. Not sure this data is conclusive.

When you become a member of this site, there is a box that asks who referred you. I believe the referrals is how many people you have recommended the site to that put you down as the reason they joined.

Well this makes sense at least. More sense than my suggestion.
So now I'm dying to know who listed me as the reason they joined!

Yep. I haven't thought about that since I was a wee lad. Forgot all about that referral thing.
Seems like a lifetime ago.
