I’ve been getting e-mails now for a few days for new posts to the forums I’m watching, and I’m hoping whoever is responsible for the formatting and/or management of this site will agree there are some issues with the way they are currently formatted. First the REALLY SUPER LARGE envelope graphic for watched forum e-mails or the CHAT ICON GRAPHIC for chat messages isn’t really necessary and wastes a LOT of space. If you need or want a graphic to distinguish between the different types of e-mail messages that’s fine, but it can probably be 80-90% smaller and not waste so much valuable space. Also, the really big black bar at the bottom of each message also wastes quite a bit of space. It seems like that doesn’t need to be any larger than the black bar at the top, so it’s about 3 times larger than it needs to be.
When I get a few messages and they are grouped together in g-mail, because of the REALLY SUPER LARGE envelope or chat bubble graphic and the BIG TALL black box at the bottom of each message, I have to scroll 3 times as much to read a few messages than I would if these two things were changed/adjusted. I hope the site admins can see the value in making some changes/adjustments to the format for these e-mail messages. Thx!
