I did the poll, all 5 forum posts & all 5 news articles & it should come out to 325 points, but I have 365 points up now. What on earth?! How did that happen?!

Yeah, I wasn't in any other time zones at the time. Definitely don't know what happened, but it hasn't occurred again, haha. Hopefully it did the self-correction thing.

Thanks, everyBUDDY! :)

Headed to the points detail page for a look. My points don't always make sense either.

You can get more than 975 (or in your case 1075 points including the opinion poll) under Today's Points if you have earned points in another time zone. I don't remember exactly how it works but it is self correcting as the number of points you can earn over a 2 day period is capped.

Did you post messages in another time zone in the last day?

Check the points detail page and see if perhaps you've also got another 40 points from "tomorrow's" message posting. Alternately, see whether your daily points reduces to 40 rather than 0, at midnight.

Yup. Now I've got all the points for the day. While it should be 1,075 points, it says I've got 1,115 points. VERY interesting.
