Dear IL'ites,
As some of you know,
"referrals" that show up in the top right of all your posts (as show below) indicate the number of people who joined our site based on your recommendation. In this example, chitvish has 28 referrals.
One easier way to increase your referrals is by
forwarding interesting discussions to your friends using our in-built
"email this page" feature. If your friend comes to IL following that discussion and then decides to join IL, the system automatically tracks that and
credits you with a referral.
Here is how you forward discussions to your friends. The picture is self-explanatory.
