Help with tech points

I’ve written Tech Repub. twice and have yet to get a satisfactory answer or one that even addresses the question.

Here’s the problem, my tech points amount keeps dwindling, based on my asking questions. The Tech Points Guides says that closing a question and rating the answers will yield 100 points. I have closed several questions in recent months and always given the appropriate feedback and rated the answers, etc. BUT…I have NEVER been awarded any points for this (let alone 1000 points).

At the moment, I’m VERY stuck with a tech question and don’t have enough points to post it.

PLEASE HELP???!!!!!

Thank you very much for any help,

Win
