Ok, ok, so this is going to seem a bit anal retentive...so bite me! 
Why are the styles for QA and the rest of the site different?
If you have the QA list in one browser tab, and the home page, or lounge in another, then flick between them, the QA menu and it's dividing line are a couple of pixels higher.
Worse, (and why I noticed in the first place) the font used in QA is bigger than that for the others - even if I make sure they are both at the same zoom factor by pressing CTRL-0 on them both.
Seems odd, that's all.
Chrome 23.0.1271.97
Interestingly, the two menus are aligned in IE9...fonts are still different though.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Now it's been brought to my attention it is really bugging me. 
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Still a problem now? (I've been playing)

The positioning is now fine! Ahhhhh.... 
I assume the QA font is larger for a reason? (Though I can't imagine what that might be. )

Hi CP,
As we are not having the voting system in general discussion forums, so the posts will not get a downvote for sure.
But my Debator points is now Under Water -18, which was 29 (as far as I remember) yesterday.
As voting is not there, is there any other way in which general forum posts get downvoted?
Thanks,
Tadit

Yup - simply click the report flag and choose to report as spam or abusive. This option is being overused to my mind.
To check whether this is the case, look at your reputation history. If anyone has voted this, you should see an entry telling you, and it should link to the message that was down voted. (Note, I haven't actually checked to see if this is what the reputation history does, it's just a logical guess based on knowing how Chris works - the reputation system doesn't bother me enough for me to go and check this out).

Thanks for the quick reply @Pete.

Yes I know this functionality, but unfortunately there is no entry in reputation history pointing this downvote. And that's why I got the doubt, when I found no entry for that.

It may be a possibility that Chris has performed a rep-point recalculation. I remember in the past that this causes the numbers to fluctuate somewhat to account for deleted messages, etc.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I do believe your not bothered, especially with debator points ( although I would personally be proud of your article/Q&A points as they are hard earned.) But you are starting to sound like JSOP use to.

The only ones that interest me are my article votes. They are the ones I'm proudest of, and I don't need to go into the reputation system to find out what my votes are (very handy), as they represent achievement rather than any form of lounge based popularity. The articles are technical achievement.
[Edit]Oh yes, and I'm proud of my blog entries too. You've found my ego point - my articles.

No points were harmed in the Correction.
We had a bit of code. A tiny bit of code. It ran something like
if Points > 0
Set RepPoints = Points.
This was meant to be a sanity check, but insanity is the norm and people can actually have negative points. I removed the "> 0" check and updated those members who actually have negative points so they, in fact, have negative points.

That's ok, but if there is no voting system now, how can be the point 29 comes to -18.
And another thing is it is not increasing from that instant. I am posting messages here since yesterday, but the Debator points seems unaffected.

Oh ok Chris. Thanks for the information.
But don't you think that we should get an entry in Reputation History or is that the thing you are working on?
And is there an issue with the individual points showing in Profile page?
Because the Debator Points still showing -18.
Also the same issue with Editor Points.
If you think these are bugs, then look at them, otherwise please ignore, as others think that I am the person who is obsessed by Reputation, which is not true.
Thanks...

I'm not sure what you mean. You do have entries in your rep history - these are what, when added up, give you your negative point total.

Yes, there is a page whose title is "Reputation History for Tadit Dash", in which all the reputation points change is mentioned.
I am asking if somebody downvoted any message of mine, and the point reached to -18, then that action should appear in that list, isn't it?
And the individual points in the profile [^] page also not increasing for Debator, Editor. It is showing the old values.
I think you understand my queries. If any question, please ask me.

Your rep list only shows the last 200 events. Your rep graph shows all points, and it's clear that in late September your points dipped well below 0 points.
Please stop dwelling on the points, and instead ask yourself "why are people voting me down". Learn from that, understand how to interact with the community, and it benefits everyone. Mostly you.

Thanks a lot for the information @Chris.
I will learn from my mistakes and downvotes.
I will be good member for the communities. 
Thanks,

I've just taken a look at your profile. I had forgotten that you were the person who was obsessed by his reputation. You know, if you stopped going on about it, people might not down vote you. That is just a friendly piece of advice.

Sorry, but I am not obsessed by reputation.
I am just reporting these, because this is the forum for Bugs and Suggestions.
Except reputation issues, I have also reported other issues and suggestions.
And if you think that this is not a bug for CP, then it is completely fine with me.
As a member of CP, I think that, if I came across any issues, I should report that.
Thanks...

When I checked your messages, the vast amount were about passing various milestones. You even blogged about them. That is an obsession.
