I'm glad we have access to all phrases - that's very helpful - although I must say it seems like an odd way to get to the registration message. I think an option in the registration section that allows you to easily tinker with that particular message would be good. That's the way VB does it - one of the very few aspects where it's easier to use them.
It's great to have all the phrases in one place, but I don't think most laymen (such as myself) would know to look a phrase tool to find the registration messages. I'm definitely glad that tool is there. I assumed, though, that the registration emails sent to new users would be found in the user registration section. That's where I looked first.
Then I looked in every part of the control panel multiple times including Appearances but for some reason I didn't connect it with the Phrase option
. I was looking for something that said Registration...
I would have it accessible in both sections.
I grant that most Forum admins would never alter the message but we altered it dramatically....

I'm such a laymen I don't know that means but if you can find a way for laymen to easily find and alter the email messages sent out during registration that would be a good thing...
I think if admins saw what the generic phrase was in their registration section many would probably personalize it some extent - adding the names of their Forums at a minimum.
Ours does and says something about the add-ons we've added that make our Forums different and says that we look forward to seeing you on them after you complete your registration. It's a small thing but it adds a nice touch.
