BUG: 
There is a bug/hic-up in the points system where after your submission is approved and you are awarded points, the points will show on the page you edited BUT DO NOT get added to your overall point count on your profile page.

WHAT TO DO:
Do nothing!  I have a script that will run each day, from a secret location and at a secret time, that will re-total everyone's points.

So no reason to freak-out or post a bug about not getting points. Thank you citizens.

That is nice to hear about it. I don't need to contact the Mods or Staff anymore.

Not a "points bug" issue.  The image system is undergoing some changes.  Should be rectified shortly.  I'm not sure why you're not able to add images.  That should still be working.  What browser, version, page working on, etc. ?

if it's not to do with the points bug, take it to the official bug thread here

Please keep indivudual topics on track so the admin can keep track of the bug progress in the system

I suspect fowl play on the Joker page, with FallenX abusing points somehow. MrsJ has been the top editor forever with just under 2000 points & me at second. Almost everything there was posted or edited by us, then this guy somehow surpasses MrsJ by 3000 points & I see no significant changes or additions to the page. That' seems really fishy. What did he do? Delete the whole page & repost it?

@likalaruku: Check the images.  Members are posting shed-loads of pointless, small & low-quality images and gaining points from them.

It seems that there's a bug in the points again, like the one that already happened ("after your submission is approved and you are awarded points, the points will show on the page you edited BUT DO NOT get added to your overall point count on your profile page"). 
 
Maybe it should be - once more - fixed...

Red LAMP said in another post last night that they are aware of a problem with points not appearing to update.  He reassured us that they really are updating, and that they're working on it :)

So true.... I can't tell which is which when posting and at the end I end up picking the low quality super small images....

It's kind of hard to take you seriously with the Donald Duck Avatar..... 
 
In the avatar he's mad and you're saying Oh Great.... So here I'm thinking... Donald Duck is mad and being sarcastic when he says Oh Great....

NO the thing is that Donald has his mouth open and if you were to add a talk bubble to the avatar it would look like DOnald is talking... I don't know if I'm explaining it right sorry if I offened anyone.... 
 
I'll stop now since this is a Points bug thread.. I promise!
