That is a great suggestion.
In the past you could easily search for all Admin posts

http://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?uID=5497&max=20

so perhaps a flag for admin to attach to the cs accounts would be beneficial.

perhaps a page like this
http://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp

somewhere in the forum - stats page? search page?
or some other easy way.

I don't believe those include customer service replies, for instance from
cs_amanda.

I recognize this - but it also needs to include post by
cs_amanda
http://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?uID=469871&max=20

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/newsview.page?msgid=791947

Alice
Sean
Carlyle
Eric

or they would all need to post under the admin account - which is not a good
solution

Alice and I agree making Admin Post more visible is important, so she's looking
into what can be done to address this.

Thanks

The only clear way is to get rid of this archaic Forum system and replace it
with something that is already out there in the universe. phpBB, Vbulletin, and
a few others which escape me at the moment. These offer a far better way to manage,
Mod and do things then the current system. If this hasn't been addressed
yet in the new bricklink, someone needs to do it. The current system while useable
is unacceptable. I'm saying this clearly as a moving forward cause if your
going to make the new site have Flash and Bang to it, the forums as they are
now need to go.

As we have learned she has been on a bit different agenda recently..
