How to I get the Referral url links working for my Members?

Here is what the FAQ in VB Version 4 says:

"Whenever you view a thread, you will find a link somewhere on the page which will allow you to send a brief message to anyone you like. Your referrer ID is added to the link you send, so if your friend registers on this forum as a result of viewing the link you sent to them, your referrals total will automatically be credited."

But where or how can a member use a direct link to send to another to register at >> forums/register.php ?

Example Goof 1:
If our Member #63733 gives out the following referral link, his first and last name do not appear in the Referred By box:
http://www.ipiu.org/forums/register....ferrerid=63733
PHP Code:
http://www.ipiu.org/forums/register.php?referrerid=63733

Example Go-Around 2:
If our Member #63733 gives out the following referral link to a "thread", and the guest clicks on the register.php link , then the Member's User Name appears in the Referred By Box where it should be:
http://www.ipiu.org/forums/showthrea...ferrerid=64728

PHP Code:
www.ipiu.org/forums/showthread.php?t=35763&referrerid=64728

Can you help?
