Alert System
An idea where you can quickly alert users on your forum, particularly useful when you've got a bunch that don't like reading your announcements.
A moderator/admin/important person can use a form to send an alert to a particular user/usergroup/whole forum. When the affected users next load the forum, a popup message displays with the alert message, and then doesn't display to that user again. An alert can have an expiry date, after which it won't popup.
Could come in useful when you want to direct all online users to a particular thread you've just created or if you want to make sure a user receives and reads a message from you next time they come online.
