I did not receive the new points yesterday for my account. Sad


According to your post history, you have not posted since January 31, 2018.  Therefore it appears that you did not post for at least 2 activity periods, and possibly you have not posted any for 3 activity periods.   You have to post at least 1 time every activity period in order to earn points for that activity period, and if you activity period passes without you making any posts, then you will not be able to make up activity points for that period.  

It is a "you snooze, you lose" sort of situation.  
Well now that I have posted this comment, I received my points.
But the thing is, when I started this account I asked about this "Snooze" thing and I was told my account should still be valid and I will earn my points as long as I have Posts points left, in my situation I have 245 posts points, and therefore I should keep getting my points until my Activity points is equal to my post points.

That's as far as I understood. but anyway thanks for the information, I shall keep my account active with at least one post every 2 weeks. Smiley


You could be correct that this time you end up gaining more than 14 activity points, and I am not clear about whether gaining those points is because your post(s) might overlap periods, or if there is some other algorithmic rule that i do not understand that would allow your activity points to catch up by what seems to be three missed activity periods (which would have been 42 points (14x3)).  Currently, I am suspecting that your posting 1 time, had caused a catching up of the activity points, but you are not going to receive any more activity points for two weeks - because your activity points are caught up to your current posts.  Probably there is a better way of explaining this, and I did see that you had 168 activity points, and now you have 182 activity points (which means that you just earned the max - and the max caught up to the fact that you posted today), and if you earn any more activity points between now and two weeks from now (before the next activity points update date), I would be surprised.. b

Almost. He has 246 posts and 182 activity so 246-182=64 then 64/14=4.57 so he needs to post at least once in the next 5 activity periods to achieve full potential activity..... But without Merit then the activity is pretty pointless.
