Thanks Alvin. :) I know it gets harder, but getting only 0.02 to 0.05 points in a day? It just seems so unusual.

Alvin Woon replied on November 18, 2008 23:16 to the question "Losing Karma? Slow update?" in Plurk:

Plurk's karma system has a maximum point of 100. Just like most point system, the algorithm is tuned so that it gets harder to gain points as you reach the top. Having said that, unless you have been inactive for a very long period of time, you shouldn't see any points dropped.

Hope that helps. ^_^

I can't get to my Plurk page too. I'm logged in, but I can't see my page. I can't see anyone else's page too. Haven't Plurked in 4 days. I use my home laptop and Firefox.

As an update to my last comment, I do have access in IE! (However, the type takes a frustratingly long time to show up in my Plurks, in IE. Each letter takes an eternity to show up.)

Anyway, as to the original problem,....I do not have access to Plurk in Firefox, but I do have access in IE.

I am having this exact problem. It started yesterday, when I was logged out without warning. However, now, I'm continually asked to register for Plurk! I login; it asks me to register for Plurk; I login; it asks me to register for Plurk. Repeat. I can't get access.

Yesterday, I was using Firefox 2. Today, I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, and the problem is worse.

It appears to have been fixed yesterday -- thanks!

Me too. Four cycles and then my Karma suddenly plummeted. Lost 0.91 points for no apparent reason.

@Alvin - how about an extra 20 characters so you can make your own freeform qualifiers? /SHOUTS/ from the top of his lungs. The whole thing of qualifiers is that you don't use your 140, so at Karma maybe you "earn" 160 instead, and the ability to put some other silly word in /hash/ marks to highlight it?
Or you get to choose 3 personal qualifiers in your profile? Then they are available on the pull down?

we will look into this shortly.

A comment on the problem "Plurk accepts my login but doesnt actually log in." in Plurk:

Good Morning Amir, you have been a major help but i may have some useful help as well. I could not access another website via IE and I called their helpdesk and what I was told was to look at my time and date for the computer. I was told to make sure that the time was correct, time zone, and date. Turns out my time stamp had PM and not AM, once I changed it to AM IE started to work for the website and also Plurk is working again. So I just wanted to throw out that suggestion cause it seems like everyone started to have problems around daylight savings time. Thank you again for all your help. – Jordayn, on November 14, 2008 16:03

try do a shift+refresh your browser. usually that helps. let us know if it doesn't.

The general solution for this problem seems to be either to delete cookies, by going to:
http://www.aboutcookies.org/Default.a...

Or try to install Firefox:
http://www.firefox.com/

If somebody has some more clues what the cause of this problem is, then we would like this info.

Regards,
Amir

I changed from IE to Firefox. It is now working. Hopefully there will be no further problems. Thank you for the help.

I also agree. More qualifiers, more emoticons, and something cute to add to your layout :D
