Has YA changed the way they?????

Has YA changed the way you get notified if your answer is chosen the Best Answer? They use to send it to my email, but now when I log in it states that "whoa, you just earned 20 points" for an example. Just curious.

    they still notify you through email if you get best answers. i also get that message when i log on even if i know ive already earned the points. one reason could be is that when you log to yahoo what your browser opens is just the page that was cached into your computer and is not yet the updated page. this happens to me when i use a slower PC or have a slow internet connection. i would know that the page is just from cached when my total points is not updated. what i do is just press F5 or refresh button to get the updated page.

    P.S.: I just found out why i don't automatically get updated page

    go to Tools-->Internet Options--.> Under General Tab click Settings of Temporary internet files-> choose "automatically under "check for newer version of stored pages'

    i come across myself "slipping" (i might somewhat purely think of of it as evolving) in terms of my center ideals. however, I had doubts and questions approximately my faith upon my arrival right here. I actual have found out a great deal approximately different religions and philosophies, and have chanced on an engaging R&S community that stages from those with whom I heavily disagree to those with whom I agree 9 situations out of ten. i think that i'm extra vendors in the direction of skepticism these days, yet there are additionally genuine-existence components taking part in into that. some R&S posters have shown me some thrilling new opportunities to evaluate, whilst others have shown me a sparkling image of what I on no account desire my non secular ideals to alter into.
