Description NOW v5 COMPATIBLE

deviantNOTES - Flag notes is a Firefox/Greasemonkey script that lets you flag notes "as unread" for later.

Requires: Firefox and Greasemonkey

How to install it:
1) Install the Greasemonkey Extension and restart Firefox
2) Right-click the link below and choose "Install User Script" in the context menu. Alternatively, click the link and select "Tools -> Install User Script" in the menu bar.

/ DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.1: [deviantNOTES - Flag notes ]
/ 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.

I set it up to use the "full-star" and "empty-star" images. If you'd like me to e-mail you the edited script if you want to provide both, or just the star one, or whatever, I'd be more than happy to.

Interesting choice (totally forgot about the star emoticons )... I'll put up an alternate script for now (while I ponder about the select-emoticon solution). No need for mail, I'll just edit the URLs here

This is pretty much a genius idea. I am totally in love already, and I haven't even clicked it.
