Referrals appear in a user's profile when a registering user inserts an already registered user's user name into a certain field in the registration process.

This then increases the user's referral count in their profile by one.

You also can automatically have your name entered into the referral field of the registration process by giving users a certain link. Your link is:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/index.php?referrerid=28227

This link will direct users to the registration page with your name automatically inserted into the referral field. This will only work if the computer you are using is logged out of the forum.

Other users can find their link, as well as more details about referrals here.
