Something like News Generator but not exactly...

Hello !
I've migrated from phpBB to punBB (applauss !!!), everything worked fine but one feature is missing to me :

With phpBB, I had installed a mod that allowed to mark a post as news before sending it.

I speak french so it's a little difficult to explain, but; you had a panel in the admin where you can add news categories.
So for example :
--1-- fresh content
--2-- humor
--3-- computers
....
everything you want.

After; in the board; when you where writing a post; you had a rollbox called "is it a news?" from where you can choose one of the categories defined before.

In the sql-base; there were an extra field "news" for the post table; which had for value "0" (not a news) or any number corresponding to your categories.
It was very useful and I would like to find something similar.
I saw there was a "news generator" plugin, but I don't like the idea of having all your news in the same forum.
I want to post my news in the good one; or it will be confusing for users.

Can you help me ?
Hope it was not to hard to read...
Thanks !
