One of my KudoZ point totals dropped. How is this possible?

It is possible for select point totals (overall, PRO, by field or by period) to go down. Factors that could cause this:

• A question for which you earned points was squashed or ungraded.
• A PRO question for which you earned points was reclassified as non-PRO (thereby decreasing your PRO total and increasing your non-PRO total).
• A question for which you have earned points is reclassified in another field of expertise (raising your total in one field and decreasing it in another).
• Time passes (potentially causing your point total over the last three months to drop).

If you are wondering specifically about the 8 answers for which you earned points yesterday, you can check your profile answering history. Each should be shown with the points you have earned.
