Does it not depend on the weight of the users? i.e. if you have a 5-vote from a newbie and then a PoH or OG comes along and votes you 3, this actually gives you an overall of 2.25 or something, so is in effect a down-vote?

Johnny J. wrote: What about 4 stars? is that considered downvoting
No:
- 1 or 2 stars: downvoting
- 3 stars: considered downvoting, but perhaps it's a better idea to consider it as a neutral vote
- 4 or 5 stars: upvoting

3 stars is meant to be neutral and no points are associated with it.
Can you point out where we say "downvoting"? I'll get the wording changed.

I just tried it: I voted 3, OP lost 16 points.
Looks like this is a bug.

In the reputation history. This was a three star vote for one of my answers to a Q&A question:

You've found a bug, and for that I apologise.
Bug fixed and I'll release the updated code tomorrow.

It would be handy to have a way to reply to these - I just received an email from the article author about a comment I made on his article - which is "not available for viewing". As a result, none of the comments are visible, and I can't reply to his email. I can't contact him in any other way because all his messages are on the closed article.
It's not desperate, but it would be handy - instead of them thinking us rude or arrogant in not replying.

A closed article is a closed article, I'm afraid. Sometimes they are closed because they are inappropriate, sometimes for legal reasons (plagiarism) and so our policy is that if an article's closed, it's closed, and opening it up again even for comments go against the "closed means closed" idea.
However, we could still show the forum for an article without the article itself. That's a possibility.

Some suggestions
- Auto refresh
- Ability to mark as read directly from the popup
- Auto making post as read if it is navigated from else where (this one's a bit harder to implement)

But... what about those who like to "collect" those notifications? 
|
|
|
|
|
Then should be optional. (well, not sure what you meant)

|
|
Maybe

Try removing it first (small checkbox under image), then changing it.

Chatting is very useful option to interact with other developers and communication will be improved so add chat option
|

I disagree, chat rooms are not productive since they are not focused. If you have 100 developers in a chat room you will have a problem getting a word in edge wise. On top of that, this site's core principle is to share knowledge, and nobody is going to go read through chat scripts.
Sharing knowledge does very well through the use of the forums, quick answers, and articles section, I really don't think that having a "chat" is going to make the site any better (probably quite the opposite). Chats typically turn into a tit-for-tat exchange that hogs the chat while 2 people sort out personal issues. I've never seen a technical "chat" that was effective.

We've discussed this issue a few times. Unfortunately, no one has ever come up with a case where a chat is a better option. The point of the forums is for experts to be able to drop in and enrich answers with their collective experience. Real time chat doesn't support that model - you'd have to be very lucky to have the people you need just happening to wander on by the chat room at just the right time.

On opera 12.15 (fedora linux x86_64) loading any forum page pops up an error "Undefined is undefined". And clicking on any message refreshes the entire page instead of showing the message.
Same also on Firefox, but I didn't find the error.
