    No it's still ten points although yahoo answers is currently under a "lag" delay glitch. Points and email notifications are being posted a while after a best answers is chosen so not to worry your points will be sent.

    Confirmation of what the (1) point was for can be found under your recent account activity , the one point might have been for a thumbs up on a best answer.

    All the best

    No.

    Whenever you don't know what's going on with your points, immediately go to your Profile, and click the Activity Details tab.

    You can see the last 6 things that effected your points.

    You did things to lose points: Either asking questions, or for violations (for these, you get an email notifying you of the removal).

    A Best is worth 10, plus 1 per thumb up.

    No, as far as I know, but I haven't kept a close I on the total. The best answer notice said I got 10 points.

    If you check your activity list you may see what they have done.

    You may have got 10 for a best answer and a further one point for a thumbs up.

    Look at the question and see if you did get a thumbs up.
