My Active Rain Points are SUBTRACTING instead of adding???

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Properties Seattle

UPDATE:  It's fixed!

*******

Every once in a while, things go a bit screwy.

I hadn't posted to Active Rain for awhile.  I wrote down my points "197,499" and started blogging and commenting.

A couple of posts and almost 10 comments later, on the same day, my points went DOWN to 196,829???

We all like to know how this place functions, and generally it's pretty easy to understand.  But for the life of me I can't figure out how the numbers are working backwards.

Anyone have a clue?

Sometimes I track my points along side "Mr. Bellingham Home Inspector".  So I wrote down:

"ARDELL - 197,499"

"Mr. Bellingham HI - 195,598"

Now I look and it says:

"ARDELL - 196,829:

"Mr. Bellingham HI - 195,828"

So who gets to manipulate the points around here?  The points seem to have subtracted by the same amount or so that should have been added.

Screwy.

Ardell, we've been down this road lately. I posted a blog about a week ago, and then I think it got fixed. Just email Active Rain at the bottom and let them know. The numbers are getting stuck.......for some reason. ;-) Hope this helps...

I can understand getting "stuck" Teri...but subtracting?

Yeah, I know....I think it's all screwed up. Mine were up and down, etc., so I suspect that's what's happening to your's as well.  I received an email from Rich or was it Bob Stewart telling me everything was fixed with mine.  You know - the squeaky wheel?????  ;-)

I'm more of a public squawker than a private squeaker LOL!

I've had the same problem, and I THINK it was fixed but have to admit I am not terribly diligent about checking.

On your profile it shows 198,099......

Where are you seeing the 196#?

I know we have been having some wackiness with points. They are being tabulated correctly but some of the areas they display seem to be out of sync..........Does the 198,099 seem right?

I had that happen the other day, but within a few hours it got back to where it should be.

Ardell, what puzzles me is I thought I remembered you passing the 200,000 mark months and months ago.  I must have dreamed that.  :-)

It is fixed Bob!!!  See what happens when you don't bring Amanda and Kelan to see me for way too long.

My other daughter is having a little girl in December.  I'm just going to keep them popping out little girls until Kelan marries one of them.

CJ,

Yeah...I think it was a dream sequence.  I can't wait for the new show "Mentalist".  He's not Psychic...he's just paying closer attention than most people. :)

Now I've got a funny looking "re-blog" pencil on my post.  What is that?

I posted an update noting the problem is fixed.  But if the pencil "re-blog" is telling me to delete it.  NO!

I thought it was just me!  It has been happening the last few night to me, too.

I hate to say it, Courtney, but I'm happy to hear it :)  I was feeling singled out...as usual.

Green Lake is pending BTW.  Cross your fingers all goes well.

I've heard this happen a long long time ago from another member.....I think your points are deducted when someone either deletes a comment you made or removes your post from a group.

Ardell, the REBLOG is a tool which enables others to reblog your post giving you extra points. Guess you haven't been around for awhile? ;-) Brad Andersohn posted something about it as well as others......

Thanks Teri,

I'll put the reblog feature back on and see how it works. 

Right now I just lost 2,000 points again.  I give up trying to figure out why it is subtracting.
