If I read your request right, this may be what you want. I use is for myself and my moderator to be instantly notified when we log on if there is a reported post, in my moderator section. This way the normal mambers never see the section let alone the reported posts.

Its been working very well for me, maybe it may be what you are looking for?

not quite what I'm after. See, here is my problem. I'm having a problem getting my staff to keep up with important posts inside the staff area. I'll post something and expect them to reply and they'll overlook it because we have so many new posts on our board that my staff forum posts can get buried at times.

I've tried telling them that instead of using the new post feature to come to the staff section first, catch up on the moderator posts in there, then go and use the new posts feature to view the rest of the boards but it just isn't sinking in. This is a problem I've been battling ever since I started the place, no matter who I bring in on staff.

What I'd like, is a system that does one of two things. Either create a seperate new posts feature that only staff can see and label it "high priority posts"

Or, something I can checkmark when I'm making a new post that will somehow draw the mods attention to that thread in particular either via popup, or make the forum link flash....just something I know they couldn't overlook.
