Those who knows "Blizzard" and their forum you know what i am talking about. A native way how to quickly cycle through "staff" (admin/mod/whatever) posts in thread as well as a identification that specific thread contain a message from the forum staff member.
Blizzard forum feature is the best example of the functionality.
- Look HERE and you can see "BLIZZ" icon in right-top corner which states "First Blizzard post" on mouse-over. When you click it you will jump right to that post. At this point you can see the same icon which now states "Next blizzard post" on mouse over. By this you can quickly jump over the staff posts.
- For the second part check THIS which is a thread list. Threads containing post from forum staff has a small "BLIZZ" over the icon. Plain and simple.
Aside of the front-end functionality it would be nice to have a little more control over the function. Admin/Mod could define which users are considered as "staff" for specific sub-forums or even threads without being a real "moderators".
What do you think?
