A couple of things. These forums have recently had a major upgrade and are vastly improved because of it. I don't think any big changes are likely for some time now. I think it's good that the "this message has been moved" is put in the place of the original posting. It's a clickable link which will take anyone to the new location. This is particularly helpful to a new user on this site who may not only be new to WU, but also a PC novice. If a post is moved with no notice left at the original location, a new user may not know where to look for their post and might even think it had been removed for contravening some rule or other.
Don't assume that everyone has your level of knowledge; we were all novices at some point, I certainly was when I first registered here. Anyone, regardless of experience, can ask for help and advice here, but it's especially useful for people who are new to PCs. I dread to think what my PC would be like if I hadn't come here - unusable probably. The point is that you have to apply the "lowest common denominator" principle and make things easy for people with minimal knowledge.
Finally, I have visited vBulletin sites and they're fine, not easier - just different.
