Before this change, when I moused over my name on the site header, I could see side by side my Kudoz number and my Browniz number and now what I see is:

MY ACCOUNT & SETTINGS
Wallet: $0 KudoZ: 22,326 My Earnings: $0

I have no idea what My Earnings here is supposed to be…

As I explain in my previous message, Maria teresa, "Earnings" includes information about payments received through the ProZ*Pay service, https://www.proz.com/pay/account . As Thomas correctly points out, earnings are not browniz. Browniz points information will be restored to that menu shortly.

I appreciate your patience.

I thought the link was to your Browniz…

They’re pointless these points if you can’t use them.

What are the chances of a tie on KudoZ points and it making any difference who ranks higher?

And yes only paying members will benefit from that marginal gain anyway. Us plebs are pages down to start with.

That's correct, Ice Scream. Paying members are given priority over non-members at ProZ.com, and the directory is probably the place where this is more evident since members apear first there.

For those interested in browniz points, these are showing again on the drop-down menu for those with an active balance:



Thanks again for bringing this to my attention and sorry for the inconveniences.

Have a nice weekend!
