Automated Private Messages: New Members and Moved Threads

The second hack is for a new automated PM for when a thread is moved. We all know how ugly those redirects are, right? When we don't use them it's sometimes hard to find where your thread went. Now when a moderator moves your thread they will automatically PM you a link to your thread and the new forum it's in so there isn't any confusion.

I guess this isn't exactly new since we had these automated PMs back before we upgraded to vb3, but it's still nice to have them back!

I really LIKE this addition. I am glad to see someone is automating a PM to the new members to direct them to the appropraite forum. Thats really a nice feature, even if they ignore it.

And I have also been completely confused on a thread redirect too. Does it only go out to the thread maker??

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But what about the NEW MEMBERS feature, you sarcastic brat?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
