This is weird - just successfully completed the puzzle but instead of getting the automated congratulatory response indicating 3 points were posted to my account, nothing happened. So now what do I do?

Lin, there are at least two ways that can happen. One is by losing your Internet connection while you are playing, which is unlikely because you were able to post to the chat. The second is to make a keystroke error while playing, for example by entering a 9 in a column that already has a nine, receiving a warning, and then trying but failing to correct the error. In such a situation, IronSudoku will not warn you again about the uncorrected error and will allow you to continue to what looks like a completed puzzle.
In either case, the only way to get credit for completing the puzzle is to return to a saved checkpoint or, more likely, restart from the beginning of the puzzle, but before you do you might want to copy or print your first apparent solution for later reference.

I have found that making sure you click on the [close] link after the congrats has ensured that my points are added. There may also be a third way what Lin experienced may have happened, if the points were added to her score. The [close] link may have been activated inadvertently somehow and the congrats were not rendered or rendered and then immediately returned to the completed puzzle before Lin saw the congrats.

Thanks to all & esp. TallMike...turns out I indeed made a keystroke error. Once corrected I was rewarded with my 3 points. Huzzah!

Oh, in case anyone cares, turns out all I needed to do was look for dupes. Once I found the 'oops', I fixed it and the automated Congrats appeared and I did a happy dance in my head....
