The "Recent Posts" link in your personal page is extremely useful, and I find myself using it a lot to link back into current discussions. Sometimes I'm reminded of something I posted a long time ago, and I'd like to be able to find it from my personal page, no matter how old it is. It would really be great if I could enter a search term and the search would be limited to my own posts.
Similarly, I'm often reminded of other people's interesting posts, especially when I want to reference the crunchy bits of someone's good idea for a game mechanic. I sometimes click on the person's avatar in that case and see if I can find the mechanic in their recent posts. However, some people with a lot of good ideas are prolific posters, so by the time I access their page, the post I'm thinking of has scrolled off the bottom of their list. Again, an archive back to post #1 would be great, and a way to search only within that person's archive.
These are fine ideas. Consider them on the to-do list... though be warned that the list is long—very, very long.

Thanks, I know the feeling! Anyway, great job, I love the messageboards.

Feeds are nice, though not perfect...
