Sorry for being stroppy, I understand the constraints. I've noted (but never complained about) the performance in the other area.

We show a message at the top of the forum that is scheduled for deletion.

Improvement: present (1) a generic message — at the top of the user's other views — that steers to (2) the forum that is scheduled for deletion.

(Don't make e-mail *alone* the critical first piece of the jigsaw.)

Checking mail

Personally: what with this, that and the other I currently have around 8,000 unread messages scattered across seven Inboxes (yeah, I know, not great practice) so I use filters for some easily identifiable critical stuff. OK so I could add a filter to treat messages from Nabble as critical but really, most are not so. I take a leisurely approach to most things.

Less personally: the other day a friend went into hospital for an op that has a twelve-day in-hospital recovery period. If you're giving fourteen days' notice before deletion of content, that's only one day either side of major events such as this.

What if wanted to holiday for three weeks? Etc..
