oztrack - You need to type in the full path to your forums root directory in your admincp area under the referral statistics configuration. The full path is like example:
/home/www.gspotracing.com/public_html/fourms/ including the backslash at the end. If you dont know what your full path is, try using just a backslash and seeing if the error goes away. This will be fixed in the next release. Many people do not know their full path and we are faced with this issue. Let me know, others say that the backslash alone fixes that error.

"try using just a backslash"

Thanks

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I went back and read every post attached here and the instructions mutiple times but my site doesn't show "Total referalls since" or "Total refered since joined." Any suggestions.

If you will wait for me one week, I will release the new version and that should fix your issue... It seems to me that the database fields never got updated in your sql. I havent had anyone with this issue besides u. Please wait..
