When does Y!A award our points?

Question

What time of day or after how many hours? Seems like it's slow to award them lately. I still haven't rec'd points from last night for choosing a Best Answer or for being awarded Best Answer for one that I answered. Also, what time of day do we get a point for visiting?

Also, it seems very strange when it says what was done "Yesterday' when it's still the same day. i'm in the same time zone as Yahoo, so I don't quite get it.

In the old version all of the points came up immediately. Is the new version much slower than the old one in awarding these points?

I think there is a glitch going on since yesterday when I came on in afternoon as not getting my Notifications when I do stuff on here we do get points though just look on your profile and you should see points you have for the week.

The  points  are awarded  as  you   acquire  them.  Just  tested  it   by  answering   a  question....looked  before  and  after...The  2  points   for  answering   did  show  on   my  total points  count.  There  was  a   similar  question  asked    yesterday  and   there  does   seem  to  be  a  glitch  with  the  Activity   List   not  updating so  if  you mean   that  it    is  a  glitch.
 Look  at  your  points  total before  and  after  next  time  you answer   and  it  will  show  the  points  added.
 My  Activity   is showing  Yesterday...nothing  for  today but it  did  show  the   points  for  today on  my  total  points graph..

  There  is  a  glitch  for  sure..Deleted  questions  are  not  being  removed  from  the  open   questions  list. Just  look  at  your total  points * 81,274*
      The  activity  list  is the   one not updating.

I also think there is a glitch in the system as I don't seem to get as many BA emails any longer but my points are still going up.

My point system has not updated for 2 days now and I also cannot ask questions.  Oh well....

Looks like everyone gets it that there was some sort of glitch going on. This whole new system just seems a little weird & not always working quite so smoothly. Thanks everyone.

This new format is very confusing and I miss getting picked for best answer!  I come here as little as possible now days.  It's harder to find categories and sub categories too.

I never did pay attention to when the points were awarded or if they even were, I just enjoy answering questions in various categories.
