1. After saving a catagory, all the new posts to that catagory go to your profile to make browsing your faves easier. It also shows percentages of your most used faves through the 'Interest by participation' area..

2. I personally use the vote for how usefull I see the user. I have tried to veer away from voting for people just because I know them from elsewhere. It seems to avoid the point of the site.

3. See the answer to question 1.

4. You have your own personal chat in your profile. So does everyone else. Just go to their chat and leave a message. This isnt neccesarily private but its the best at the mo.
