Why do I sometimes see a new entry in the "LURVE" box on the right yet no change in my lurve total?

Asked by Mr_M (7624points) April 1st, 2009

Is there a delay? Sometimes the lurve is something I wrote within the last minute or so.

Everyone has a lurve limit for each person… (you can only give so much lurve to an individual) after that, you can still receive a “Great Answer” However, It will not effect your number of Lurve points… It just means someone REALLY lurves you ;)

because nobody really lurves you.

So if someone reaches their lurve limit with me, but gives me lurve, then I’ll show ”+5 quote” but the lurve total won’t increase?

I’m confused by it all.

@Mr_M I think so…

Mr_M's avatar

@essieness , I think that’s it!

Thanks. I wondered about that.

You can only give so much lurve. I’m pretty sure I’ve maxed on essieness. I’m showing 3484 for her, I’ll give her lurve and we’ll see what happens.

@SeventhSense I know… I’ve been screenshot-ing it.

jonsblond's avatar

Damn! I swears I maxed out on lurve for you essieness.

Geesh, I got 20 lurve under “lurve” (4 GA) and nothing added to my count.

I really freaking wish established members used the search function.
Just sayin’.

Mr_M's avatar

Life’s a bitch.

Just sayin’ too.

Just wait till your lurve gets higher, I’ve gotten three pages of lurve in the last 24 hours, only gone up about 20 points total.

@Mr. M, yes, exactly. It just started happening to me about a month ago, too. It sucks, plus I’m really curious who the heck lurves me that much.

Oh, and I just noticed this! Instead of the normal, “this is how to make your text look different, it usually shows below the answer box, now it says:

“Oh, you think you’re so smart, don’t you. Just give everyone your opinion.”
lol!!

Lurve free for all! :)

It’s not just reaching your limit for others. You also can only get so much lurve on any given thread. After five GAs you won’t get any more lurve points regardless of how many great answers you’re given.

Mr.M: we started the same week. for the same reason and we are very close in lurve. I am finding about 1 in 3 GA counts toward lurve and yesterday I got 11 GA with only 2 counting toward lurve. Some of the 10,000+ jellies get 1/15. It prevents the gaming they had in the ‘ville.

Mr_M's avatar

There’s still some gaming here, though. It’s obvious.

asmonet's avatar

Oh, please do point out the gaming!
