add "show threads started by foo" in username drop down
I would like to see a "show threads started by foo" link in the JavaScript drop down menu that shows when you click a user's name in a post (the menu with "visit foo's homepage", "add foo to buddy list", etc) There's one in the user profile, but that requires two clicks, one to the profile, one to started threads, instead of just one. It just makes sense to me, and as a moderator, I would use it often.

ChiefWigs1982 agrees!
funkyfoof agrees: I'm not sure why you use "foo" as an example, but I rep you every chance I get because of all the
CSS help you give everyone. AND I agree with this particular thought.
Jcaputo agrees: usage of foo

I agree that would be nice (can't rep you at the moment). It'd be useful for checking for cross posts more quickly and save time instead of going to the public profile first.

Hopefully this will get seen. I didn't want to start a new thread b/c my new request is similar to this one. Anyway ...

How about a "add note for foo" in the same drop down? It should take you to the New User Note form for that particular user. The mods have agreed that we should add user notes when we unofficially warn somebody, and having this would make it easier to do that. I know, I'm lazy, but adding a user note is more clicks than getting their started threads was

And maybe, or even in addition, a "view user notes", but only if they have a user note !? I might be pushing it a little with that one, huh?

Would anybody else find these useful?
