Currently notifications are in a format like such:

Shadow82x,

Charles has just posted a new status update.

======================================================================

#IPB 3.1 notification systems improvements in the works. Reveal next week. We heard you and we agree it needed work. Almost done!

======================================================================

Now wouldn't it be more user friendly if "Charles" was actually linked to his profile -or- if there was a link to the status message itself? (So it brings you to the profile and down to a status message anchor)

Currently there is no easy way to view the profile and respond to a notification. Unless you go to your own profile and find the friend manually which is not exactly user friendly.

My $0.02. :)

The title is already linked appropriately...

Ah. I didn't have any recent notifications to notice that change.

Looks well implemented. Good job! :)
