The karma dialog box seems to work okay, but then my karma number doesn't go down and apparently the (attempted) recipients don't end up with the donation. Has anyone else experienced this lately, or know of an explanation?
Your karma doesn't decrease. Once it's given to you, it's there to stay. The karma you give out is separate. The amount you can give is partly based on your karma, but it's not subtracted from your karma.

Are you sure the others didn't have their karma increase when you give it?
