What is a referral?
If a person joins IL and if they put your name in the referrer box while registering (please see screenshot below), then you have 1 referral.

How can I refer IL to my friends.
There are three ways to do that. Please see screenshots of all below.
a) Use the Tell-A-Friend link on the top of every page. If you fill your IL username, the message sent to your friends will instruct them to put your IL username in the referrer box while registering.
b) Forward any IL thread to your friends using the Threads Tools->Email This Page option. That link already has your referrer ID built in. If they end up registering, you will get credit for the referral.
c) Take your referral link from the
referrer statistics page (Quick Links -> Referral Statistics) and manually email it to friends.
a) Tell-A-Friend

b) Forward IL Discussions

c) Email Friends & Family

How can I know my total referrals and the specific users who have joined based on my referral?
You can see that in the
referrer statistics page. Find your total number of referrals in the box on the top of the page and scroll down to find the specific users.
Many members have joined IL based on my referral, but they didn’t put my name in the referral box.
Unfortunately, we can’t do manual updates. Going forward, please provide your friends with your IL username and ask them to positively put your IL username in the referrer box.
What are the other requirements around this contest.
1. A member should have activated the registration to count as a referral.
2. Do not create phony IDs to increase your referral count. We have pretty clean IP/Cookie tracking to identify bogus registrations. If we find abuse, we will disquality that member from the contest. IL decision is final in this regard.
3. Do not spam others with your referral link. Send emails only to people you know (friends/family)
