Grammar issue and convenience request
 
Two things,

First, although "Find all posts who thanked <user>" is a bit more clear than it was previously, it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't know of any posts who can thank users. :p It should be changed to something like "Find all posts <user> was thanked for" or "Find all of <user>'s posts that were thanked".

Second, I find it useful to go to my profile every so often, but there's not a reliable link for that anywhere on the forums. Would it be possible to turn the "Welcome, <user>." up in the upper right hand corner next to the PM information into a profile link?

Seconded. That definitely would be helpful. But, GA, is the link at the bottom of the Forums page not reliable for you?

Hrm, hadn't thought of that one. Still, my request stands. The one at the bottom moves around too much. :p

When I'm logged in, I find that the link to my own profile is always the first in that list.

Of course, none of this is to disagree with your sound suggestion that "Welcome, <user>" should replace "<user>" with a profile link.

I meant only that the bottom of the pages moves all over the place with these variable-length pages. :D

GA, first request done.

For the second, there's a My Profile link under 'Quick Links'.

"Find all posts for which <user> was thanked" would avoid ending with a preposition.
