My points appear in the pop up, but my number of points in the right hand corner does not rise. Do I have to worry? ;)

I'm noticing this as well.
but also noticing fewer points in the pop ups as well

I'm also having that happen.

Do the points come back after you refresh?

Same thing is happening for Two Loons for Tea (thesixtyone.com/twoloons)

The same thing for me... Many problems with the new rules, I think, I will close my account now :(

Please don't go, Nephie! Or anyone! Things change, the site changes, a new equilibrium gets established. You found new fans here who would miss your music. I ask the artists collectively for patience. Though I am greedy for new music, and for more songs from the artists I find here and like, I don't want any newly discovered artist to be a flash in the pan, here with 9 songs in a flash of glory, then buried for months - which might as well be forever.

@iyzie
you're exactly the kind of people and listener I'm holding on my high and deep will to push the "delete account button"

Refreshing did no good, the points still did not show up. I had tried that twice.
