Topic: AMAZING! search posts where they mentioned your name.

So, I have seen this feature in various forums, what it does are:

1. When viewing topic, you can click on user's nickname, and with javascript, it will be copied into Quick Replay box, (so this looks like @stranger: your comment )
2. When "Stranger" will click on his own username (Logged in as "Stranger" made clickable) it will simply search forums and display posts were nickname "stranger" were addressed or mentioned.

I think it's not hard to do, yet - simplifies user communication.

These could both be extensions, although both seem quite strange behaviour to me.

Let's say, you wrote question in topic on page number 4, and someone replied to you on page 7, you would have to go back to that topic and read all 3 pages in hope that someone actually answered you.

Whit this extension, you could find it easy.

Also, there might be case that someone actually mentions your name, let say someone writes that "Connor is a great guy" but if you have not read that topic up to the end, you would never know.
