In case you have not been on the Technical Q&A pages recently, I just noticed that TR has added more levels for the number of earned points icon.

Looks like TR is working hard to make the site better and better.

Keep up the good work.

In fact, I made that suggestion to them, although I doubt that I "deserve" any credit, as many other people probably made the same suggestion.

I did notice, however, that it calculated the Tech Points differently than the "tech points earned" number by our names. Mine, for example, only shows 100k, while I've "earned" well over 400k points - pretty close to you. However, I've "spent" (actually, pretty much "gave away") over 200k, so I currently have a balance of around 220k. So the little box shows the tech point balance, not the tech points earned.

It must have a new level at 250k. I guess I better change my focus from politics to answering a few more questions so I can earn enough to get to the next level - you know, go for the "gold" (box).

Good job, TechRepublic.

Is there a glitch in the icon, or is it intended to show tech point "balance" instead of the tech points "earned"?

I've "earned" over 400k, but have a "balance" of just over 200k.

When you use TechPoints in questions in the TechQ&A those points are permanently deducted from your total points. So it's conceivable that someone could get to one level, say 100K, but spend some TechPounts that drops the person back below 100,000, which would change the person's icon back to 50K.
