If you have inform news option on, you will see messages like this:
Info: Cxaxukluth sent an article to bs
How about changing the inform message a bit and make it like this:
Info: Cxaxukluth sent an article to bs (#666666)
That way you could immediately check out that certain post just by typing
"news display bs 666666". That would help a lot, if you have months worth of
unread posts to read.
Archwizard Juggelo helpfully pointed me out the syntax "news display bs
latest", which pretty much does the trick. However, having the id in the
inform message would still be helpful if you read your logs later on.
