Including the full text of the new post in the email notification to the thread is a great feature and I like it very much.
However, my complaint is that the link provided in the email goes to the forum containing the thread, not the thread itself. That means if I remember the name of the thread, I can find it again. Or if I catch the email when it's fresh, I can click on the link and go to the forum and recognize the newly updated thread. That works OK on a slower forum like this one. However, that will not scale later on down the road, and is generally really annoying, especially on a mobile device and connection.
I've uploaded a pic showing what I see in gmail. You can see that it links to the forum and not the thread.
I've uploaded a pic showing the page I get to when I clicked on the link. Note that it's the forum with a bunch of threads to choose from.
For comparison, I've attached sample pics from another forum that sends you a clickable link to go directly to the thread. in this case it also takes you directly to the new post, which is fine, but not the main issue I am bringing to the table. Yes, I realize it uses a different forum technology, that doesn't have any bearing here. I think some options just aren't set "standard-ly".
Sorry for the LIFO ordering, look at the pics from the bottom up to follow this post.

Started with a Printrbot LC Kit; now it's a monster as big as a mid size fridge!
Single ATX Power supply, 650 watts, relay controlled heat bed
extra Z height (3+ ft) via longer rods, but I don't use it. Yet. To reduce wobble, I'm using thing:46082 under the Printrbot.
Dual heated beds, 1 currently working; space for a 3rd
Purple gluestick on glass seems to be sticky enough to get adhesion
