Thank you Roger - that means a hell of a lot. I think the very fact that the bug reports, comments and suggestions are detailed, timely and constructive shows how much you guys care. Living up to the expectations of 7 million of the top developers on the net can be humbling.
I couldn't think of anything I'd rather be doing.
(and I'm to send the cheque to the usual address? Unmarked envelope?)

First question, is this a new feature?
Second, is it supposed to be triggering on the open message? Having the blue header go mostly pale orange is distracting and provides no value IMO.
Third, if #2 is correct behavior why is it completely covering the blue on the right of the user icon and leaving a narrow band on the left?

It's actually a fix of a style issue that had been bugging me for *ages*.
I will fix it so it doesn't show on the blue header.

Maunder's big stompy boots? If so they appear to work correctly.

I hope they also left a lasting impression.

I was just looking at my tips/tricks and noticed alternates are included. I don't really like that, but that's not the point of this post. My recommendation is that the tip/trick rating average be weighted to account for the votes on each tip/trick rather than a simple average of the rating of each tip/trick. So, if I have one tip/trick with 100 votes of 5 and one tip/trick with 1 vote of 1, I will not get an average rating of 3.

I second that.
|

I think alternates should be able to be voted on at all.

I agree. That single one vote on the alternate you provided has disproportionately lowered you're average tip rating. I wonder if article average is calculated in the same way?

No, real articles are properly score-averaged, I checked when I implemented similar calculations in CP Vanity.

I posted a comment to this question[^], but did not vote on it. But now, it shows a vote of 1. Nobody else voted on this question. I saw the same with other questions, showing a vote of one, but no explanation of this vote, just another members regular comment.

Commenting on votes is encouraged (hence the pop out box) but not required. Hitting the Vote button and leaving the box empty casts a vote without a comment.

Ah, all right, thanks Dave. I thought, you couldn't vote one or two without leaving a comment.

Yes that old chestnut again!
I have noticed on the member reputation system page it states under Debator,
General Forum Message Downvoted - A member down-votes a message in a general discussion forum. -2
General Forum Message Upvoted - The author of a message receives points due to their message being
up-voted by another member. 5
Should it not state that not only does the down-voter lose point but also the member who is downvoted?

The voter does not lose points as far as I know.

According to Chris, that page is created automatically, so unless there's a bug in the code to English conversion the page is correct even though it doesn't seem to be right...

Sorry the description for General Forum Message Downvoted is incorrect. It should read similar to the Upvoted message: "The author of a message loses points due to their message being down-voted by another member". Will fix this shortly.
FYI, those two reputation points are both from the perspective of the author. The voter's perspective is Vote General Forum Message Up. There is no counterpart to down-voting here meaning the voter doesn't gain or lose any points for this action.
