I've picked up a 7th Referral. Is there a way for me to find the usernames of these people? I know 6 of them, and am curious to know who the latest one is.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Good question, I know 6 people I referred here signed up, but I only show 4. Perhaps they didn't all reference me.
 
I think you should look for them amongs you friend in other scientific forums.
 
More than half of my referrals are people I know personally (2 former students, a co-worker, and my girlfriend). Between all the people I know in the real world and the virtual world, I think I would have a hard time tracking the 7th referral down.
 
Oh interesting! Now we would have a hard time to find these people you know personally especially the last 1! :rolleyes:
I myself introduce this site to some of my friends, but never talk to them about my UN. (I think the can simply recognize me if they stick around sometimes) But you know since you registered with your real name and you're a mentor even if people who know you, find this site by themselves, they can simply recognize you're here!
 
Where do your referrals show? I know at least two people that I've referred have registered here. It would be interesting to see if they credited me or not.

In your public profile, under "Forum Info". You have 1 ref.
 
My referral count was 6, now it has come down to 3(I don't understand how) and I don't know a single person who has referred me.
 
I ahve 2. but I think it should be one. because when I registered franzbear's account, I didn't know what a refferal was, and I typed yomamma.

I don't know who... but a "VisualRoute" lookup yields

Thanks, robphy. I have no idea who that could be, though.
