Is there a script out there that does this already? I'm looking for something that will have a drop down under a user's avatar next to all of their posts that will have a list of all their posts in a specific forum. For example, it's a recipe forum and I want all of their recipes to be listed under their username/avatar.

I have not seen such a modification readily available. Also, such a modification might be a bit server intensive.

I've seen it out at http://www.homebrewtalk.com and they have hundreds of users on all the time

Have you thought of asking them for the modification? I have never seen anything like what you want - it seems very specific to certain types of forums. I think if you just do a quick job on the mod and do a query, it will be very server intensive as Hanson stated.

Nah, they are very secretive with their site. The owner doesn't like to talk about his technology at all. I guess I can try and hire someone to do it, bu the way you guys are talking about it, I don't want to get a bad developer that kills my server.

It seems like if the query wasn't made until someone actually clicked the recipes drop down list by someone's username (via ajax), then it wouldn't be that intenseive. Would be like doing a search for someone's threads, but less intensive since it would just be from a few specific forums.

Now that is an idea. :) You would get a slight delay before display, but it would be worth it. It should be fairly easy (if the developer knew what they were doing).
