DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.1: [deviantNOTES - Flag notes ]How to use it:
I tried to keep things fairly intuitive, but anyway:
Each note in your Message Centre has a funky smiley next to it./ This is a regular, unflagged note./ This is a flagged note. You can toggle the flag simply by clicking on a smiley.
When one or more notes are flagged, the Deviant Bar at the top will be updated to read "Deviant [yourname] has x new messages (...) and y flagged notes". That indicator will of course also be visible on other pages to remind you of flagged notes. The link will take you to your Notes Section.Version History:
v1.1 [Aug 9, 2006] - Now v5 compatible
v1.0 [Nov 26, 2005] - Release (Still available )
Known Issues:
No bugs so far, I think... My idle worry is that I overlooked some page where the flag-counter ("and y flagged notes") is inserted even though it wouldn't make much sense (Shop pages and such which have a Deviant Bar but no "has x new messages" thing). It's no critical bug, it would just lead to some weird phrasing 
Misc. Stuff:
Please tell me if you notice anything odd or unusual while using this script. Comments or Feature Requests are very welcome!
This script can co-exist with `doofsmack 's fairly awesome script that restores the good old "(5D, 1H, 10M...)" view. Only mentioning it because his rather radical coding approach forced me to insert my script's message in another way. 
Credits:
I don't work much with notes and I thus never felt the direct need for a "Mark as unread" feature. So this script is one of those which had been inspired by other people. In this case, the inspiration came from the Suggestions Forum, where I noticed a few threads asking for this feature. Over the course of almost two months, @bluespeed9 , =tailsthekitsune and ~kudaru-san opened similar threads about this. So I figured that there's apparently some demand for it and finally got off my lazy behind 
Thanks to =kaujot for reminding me of the star emoticons.[

Does this work if I change computers? For instance, I run some clubs, and I usually do it on school computers cos they're faster than mine (

Weird, it stopped working for me a while ago, but actually not on the devWATCH/Message Centre page. But on all full v5 pages it disappeared. (And yes, it is active on that little GM icon in my status bar.)

*cries in pure JOY*
I feel like I've come ashore after being shipwrecked and tossed about by a raging sea. This is one of the most useful scripts I've run across yet!

While this is an excellent script, and I've been using it for a while (thanks for the v5 update btw), there's one feature missing:
Since I like to organize my notes into many folders, it's somethimes hard to find flagged notes. So is it possible to add a mark of any sort next to a folder that contains one or more flagged notes?
Something like this perhaps: (the bullet shows a folder containing a flagged note)
# Inbox 3
# Sent Items 1
# chit-chat 10
# projects

It doesn't work for me. Maybe it's because I am a subscriber or something.

Wow, this is great! Excellent idea and scripting, I'll have to start using FireFox more. X3 HEY. Do you think you could find a way to make a "Delete All Messages" for deviations/journals? D: I know quite a few people with 1,000+ deviations that could use it. XD Great job!

It was only the other day that I was talking about why the staff hadn't gotten this idea down already.
Thanks

if you have the script on several computers, will it still know which messages are flagged ? or is the data stored on the local system...

>.< this is awesome! i totally needed it! wat i also need though is a way to manage my friend list better, so i can go to certain groups easily.. (i have all mine alphabetical)

Awesome stuff
I thought about this more than once - it's really bad when you read one note and then it gets lost between all the others.
I'm a fan! Kudos for you, and congratulations on such a well deserved DD!
P.S.: I think I like the star version better

That is simply awesome!! I love how the flagging is instant!
I'm a sucker for GreaseMonkey extensions and scripts, although if I wrote one it'd make my computer implode. XD

Not that useful for me, but it could be very useful for some others.

what a freakin' great idea, as one half of the admin for a club, reading notes makes them disappear from the notification page and my co-admin may not see them. You rock!

Oh man awesome. I was just thinking yesterday that dA could really use a read/unread thing. Thanks so much

Thanks! I've always wished there was a feature like that!

Gah, awesome idea. I always forget about notes when I read them but don't have time to reply at the moment. This will really help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh wow, this is also wonderful! I've made the suggestion to DA more than once to allow us to 'flag' our notes, and you've done it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Perhaps the option of different flags?
The idea is FANTASTIC, but I don't really dig on the smilies being used.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, you can edit the smileys that are being used (Way 1: Tools -> Manage User Scripts -> Edit script. Way 2: Go to the Script URL, save the page to your HD, open it with Notepad, then open it with Firefox and do the "Install this script" thing). You'll notice two lines beginning with flagicon = "..."; and unflagicon = "...";. Those are the ones linking to the smileys (flagw, flagh, etc are th width and height infos). Just change those URLs to the URLs of the smiley you want to use (right-click on a smiley and select "Properties") to get URL and height/width info).
It's not really comfortable, I'll easily admit that much. Maybe I'll figure out a better way to do it these days (*ponders*), but until then, editing the script should at least work.
