Ok, I'm sure this is a easy fix, but I seem to be screwing it up. But anyhow what I want to do is put the users referal number under their information on the user control panel. This way when they go under their control panel they can easly find their number there. Something like sitepointforums.com have where it says:
Your referal code is: http://www.techsupportforums.com?referal=1

Thanks in advance.

Use this code in any of your templates:

how hard would it be to change the referal to accept the username instead of the userid?

I don't recommend doing that since some users with have problems with their usernames inside URL's (i.e names with spaces, *'s, and other weird characters).

good point

just a small question still as I am new to Vb just covnerted over my forums from phpBB last nite and all went well 8400 users and 20k worth of messages perfectly migrated :)

this whole referal thing, do they have to sign up to be a referer or just put there userid in there

ie

http://forums.d2network.com?referal=47

47 being the userID?

I am sure once i get more familiar with the Vb code layouts i will be able to start writing hacks for this, as I used to write hacks for phpBB

thanks
