I don' get points for unresolved questions, points don't matter, but it is strange never the less. What's up?

Used to be I received points for unresolved questions, (1 point), now I don't get any. I get points for answering, (2) but according to the point system I am allowed 60 per week, (or day, sorry can't remember how the point system read at this time). Either way I don't get any points for answering unresolved questions. Is it because I am on the bridge of level 3 to 4?

Update:

Thank you Gypsy, but a few days ago I asked kinda the same question, (and recieved I am embarrassed to say a number of violations) that I had answered 20 unresolved before I realized the points were not increasing. Same as today answered 8 unresolved with no points before I realized it. I am on to answering questions or asking, but to let you know someone answered, "They are doing upgrades". For this to happen again can you provide an update? Sorry just really courious.

Update 2:

Gosh Gypsy and Eden, by the time I send this response there will probably be more informative answers. Thank you both and wish I could figure out the time zones, 5 pm here. I know for a fact that I can not pick best answer for 4 hours, which means tomorrow eve, my time, Thank you both again. Uh can I pick 2 best answers? I don't like leaving my questions unresolved.

Update 3:

Ok, one last time before I turn in, for adding details on Gypsy and Eden I received6 points, the Dr. just responded now I am really confused.........Night, will respond tomorrow, unless I can wake up in 4 hours.

Update 4:

Sorry 6 points for each that I responded to.

    No don't worry, it's not only happening to you, the points for voting on unresolved questions hasn't been working correctly for days now. Not only that but there are too many already resolved questions in the unresolved categories, it's time consuming wading through them trying to find questions that need resolving. I think yahoo is broken in a few places right now

    You get 1 point for voting on an unresolved question. You should still be getting that. And the point limit is per day.

    Eden is right. Its been down for days. Itll let ya vote, but youre not getting the points. Its going on here too.

    Dont worry, itll be back up as soon as yahoo quits working on things. Its driving me a bit crazy, cuz I vote first thing each morning.....and havent been able to do that for 3-4 days now

    Are you selecting a participant's answer? You should be getting a point for that. If you're selecting NO BEST ANSWER, the asker or yourself DO NOT get a point.
