Notifications with commentary a bit tough to read

With the content from the older beta iteration transitioning over to here, I got a notification about an old thread of mine being deleted for being in the wrong place (which was understandable, and said thread was out of date by now anyway, the concerns I had listed in it being more or less resolved as time went on).

Anywho, after skimming the notification a few times, I noticed there was more in it than what seemed like an automated 'Hey, this has happened' message and a transcript of my original thread's content in case I had decided to repost it in the appropriate forum. Some actual commentary from the moderator who had removed my thread, or at least some applicable quotes from Reds in other threads as to the content of my thread, was also included in the message, but it took me a good three reads before I even noticed. Now, I'll fully admit that I skim stuff like that more than is probably good for me, but I think it would help a lot in those messages to have a bit more formatting. Including the quote boxes around quoted snippets and the thread's original content in particular would help a lot, I think.

In other news, the boards themselves look great on first glance, so that's a huge plus! I may actually try and do a bit more than lurk in the future if they get any fancier :P

Good to hear the messages system is working, as well as the addition of transcripts! (Good on ya Tamat :P). I'm actually trying to request a deletion of a post to go through the same deal just to explore the feature (Beta and all). Good feedback!
