Show Thread Enhancements - Find My Posts In A Thread

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is a hack that adds an extra option on the Search this Thread drop down list on the first post of a thread (along with all the other thread tools) which allows your members to search for their own posts within a thread they have posted in, just like here at vb.org.

As an added bonus (thanks to Michelle for the idea), unlike the version here at vb.org, you have the option to check if a user has posts in the thread they are in and not display the link to users who do not have posts (why show the link if there will be no search results?). Please note, if this option is enabled for a usergroup, it will add 1 query when a user from that usergroup is viewing a thread.

There are no file or template changes at all, and is fully phrased.

DEMO: Click on the Search this Thread or Search this Mod drop down list and select Find My Posts in any thread you have posted in to see it in action.
