I just noticed on my profile, Referrals: 6 . Just a few days ago, it showed 4. I don't ever remember giving my PF ID to anyone, so how do I know who is referring to me?

I can't answer your question about knowing who referred you (I don't know if that's something logged for the admins to see), but I think someone else explained not long ago that when someone signs up, they can type in a username of someone who referred them instead of signing up by following the link with your ID number in it. If you don't know anyone who knows your username either, I guess it could be that someone liked what they saw in a post of yours and listed you as the person referring them without really knowing you otherwise.
 
It is me, I have been messing with your head a bit :smile:
 
Do you have only one username here? :biggrin:
 
Thanks, Moonbear! I suppose this cleared some of my doubts.

Hello,
I just received an email about this forum. I decided to check it out and went to registration and found I am already registered here. Is this forum directly connected to another forum I might already be registered to? I am not particularly or formally educated in math or science, but I am interested. V
