Would you look into splitting off the automatic announcements folder on it's own? I keep opening the announcement folder thinking you're announcing something, and it's just an automatic announcement.

Either that or see if this software can differentiate between a new post in the folder and a new post only in a subfolder, in the icon design. For example: in SMF, new-in-subfolder would show a paler blue than new-in-folder.

They are in a forum of their own: Autogenerated Announcements. It's a subforum of the main announcements folder.

It does. If the post is in a subfolder the tiny image next to the sub-folder name (on the forum page) is brighter. SMF may have done it in a way you like better (or are just used to), but vBulletin is not SMF. Sorry.
