I was saving my points in case I got in a jam and needed help. Some time ago I could see I had over 5,000 points on TechRepublic - the points for log in, download white papers, answer a question, tec... Can't find anything in the FAQs really related.

Do these points still exist? If so, how can I view them, as they are not available in my profile.

If they do not exist, did they transfer to something else?

Thanks in advance for your help.

They have been replaced with Thumbs. It is up to the person asking the Question to award a Thumb for an acceptable or helpful answer. You don't have to worry about saving points up before asking a Question anymore so just ask away. On the other hand if you are contributing to the questions and provide helpful information, hopefully you will be awarded a Thumb.
Hope it helps

I am not sure how many points I had under the old system, but I think it was 20,000.

With the new system this equated to 7. As I rarely participate these days, my score remained at 7 for a long time. However I notice it is now up to 8 probably because I have posted answers to a few questions.

Perhaps Jay Garman will stumble across this thread and explain how the new scoring system works.
