Why am I stuck on 1900 points??

I have just rated 60 questions and voted on 60 questions, but I'm not getting my points ... This happens to me quite often, and I am getting REALLY annoyed ... at this rate I'll be on level 3 FOREVER...!!!! (Bet your butt they'll take my 5 points away for asking this question though ... dammit!)

Any ideas?

Update:

Just to confirm ... yes, they took my 5 points away. Grr!

    I've had the total get stuck before, but it'll all catch up later. All of a sudden you'll get them all. Unless, of course, you're using your back button to look at your points, in which case, yes, you need to refresh.

    That happened to me before. If you don't get a 1 point for rating answers, then don't do it. It'll be a waste of time and you'll get upset. I don't know why it sometimes doesn't process.

    On the upper right hand corner is a Forum link. I think you should go there and complain to the Yahoo Answer team.

    Every time I answer a question, I need to refresh the screen (press F5) for my points tally to be updated. Maybe try that?

    Anyway, what's the big deal about getting points? You can only answer so many questions at a time (unless you're one of these nerds that sits on Yahoo Answers all day!) Points don't get you anything! Not even a star beside your name!!!

  • Jeez. That is a whole lot of points....and why do you want lots of points? It does not make you appear smarter, or more important. In fact, what good are they anyway? I read you don't even get a star next to your name or anything! sheesh. what a ripoff....LOL

    Why are you concern about points? It's meaningless. You can't buy a house with it, dude.

    Are your cookies properly logging your answers/activity online? Maybe you're blocking cookies and they can't track what you're doing.
