As I've mentioned before, I don't want to go to the dashboard and everytime have to click tickets, and then manager. I want a way to go directly to the Tickets area, where we always start. Please allow us to choose our Staff CP "launch/start" page so we can login and automatically go to our primary working area.
I like Neal's idea, as when dealing with new staff it's easiest to give the short url.
What would also be good would be a facility to display a 'ribbon' of unread staff news articles. I don't like e-mailing my whole staff base but I do want them promote new articles when they login.
