This has probably been brought up before but:

I love the notification thing, but the way it works currently is annoying. Especially when someone quotes your post and you have to view the notification to get to their post. I think that what ever module is using the notification should be able to make the main button go to that post and automatically make it read (and possibly even delete it). I'm basically looking for a 1 click way of getting to what ever the notification is talking about. The message itself really isn't that important. You only need it if you're referring to a notification later, which is going to be rare.

Yes, loud and clear. My ears are still ringing. :D
