Recent Glitch in Yahoo Answers: Points?

Is it just me, or is everyone getting lots of "points" today.

I've noticed just today that anytime I answer something, next to my profile picture I get

"WHOA! 10 points" listed by my name for a few seconds.

Sometimes it stays there until I answer another question. It fluctuates from 4-10 points.

I get the message AS SOON AS I answer a question even though ZERO people have given me thumbs up.

If I believed all those messages.. I've probably supposedly gotten 100-200 thumbs up today...which is not the case in reality.

Anyone else have this glitch or is it just me?

Update:

That's what I thought, thanks everyone.

MERRY FRIGGIN' CHRISTMAS - I gave everyone a thumbs up who answered, so for ONCE you'll actually get at least 1 point from this screwy site.

    Yes.

    But I am only getting the message when I go from page to page, not getting any points.

    No. whenever you do no longer understand what's occurring with your factors, as we communicate pass on your Profile, and click the pastime information tab. you will discover the final 6 issues that effected your factors. you probably did issues to lose factors: the two asking questions, or for violations (for those, you get an digital mail notifying you of the removing). A terrific is incredibly worth 10, plus a million in line with thumb up.

    it's not just you- I checked my Email and I'm getting Best Answers/Violation Notices from answers I posted *months* ago. Methinks the Yamster is cleaning out his cage.....

    Yeah, me too. It doesn't actually add to my points though.
