I was doing my good SO citizen work this morning (revising answers to my questions and accepting them) whilst I noticed that my rep doesn't get increased with the usual +2 on each accepted answer.

What's wrong?

Edit: the question wasn't "Community Wiki".

Edit: the answer accepted wasn't mine in this instance.

Example: I just accepted Access to widget in GTK+ and no +2 rep.

Edit: no mention of the "accept" transaction appears on my "envelope" page.

Resolution: the answer provided to the question was marked "Community Wiki" and thus no rep is awarded for accepting one of those.

    Wonder if they were CW. And if they weren't, how about some examples?

Were you at the +200 per day reputation cap?

I checked the database and you created and deleted multiple accepts on this post on 2010-01-16 from 12:14 to 12:38 UTC:

Access to widget in GTK+

Note that this particular post is marked Community Wiki by the author, so it won't confer rep.

All the other accepts look fine.

  • Not today but yesterday yes i.e. not within the same UTC based day.

    Ah! so if the answer is cw then I don't get rep... another interesting SO property. I thought this was only on the question being a cw. Thanks for the clarification.

You don't get the +2 rep when you accept an answer under the following:

  • On your own question answered by you
  • Community wiki

One of your recent accepts was on a question you yourself answered.

  • Thanks but this is not the case here i.e. CW & my answer.

  • The recently attempted was on this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/2072976/access-to-widget-in-gtk . I retracted my accept until I cleared this matter.... and now I have accepted it without my usual +2...

    @jldupont That answer was CW, maybe that has something to do with it.

You have recently received downvotes on three of your answers, that's -2 each. Might this have coincided? Or does the "+2" really not appear on your envelope page?
