Anyone else experience inconsistencies with the points you award, and what comes up?

I've just given an answer 5 stars - and it shows up as only 1. This has happened so many times - the first time I thought I'd just been careless so have been extra careful ever since to make sure. Its really annoying. Why should I care?! - well, because when you want to show your appreciation for a good answer the one star is virtually an insult. Has anyone else had this? Yes, I know its petty - but the petty things are the annoying ones. Grrr!
