Hannelore: I had on my settings page, the box checked for 'use action points'. I thought that had me set up. But when I went to my profile page, I realized I did not have action points either. So I clicked on the link for the points and at the top of THAT page, it said I was not accepting points and to click here.

Now i see they are working for me too.

I'm glad you posted Hannelore. I went months already not knowing.
