Latest version: 1.0
What does it do?: It replaces the 'New Posts' button in the navigation bar with a popup menu (for those that have it enabled) containing extra functionality to search for threads or posts with one click of a button.
What are these new functions?:
- Your Posts -- This will return a list of all of your own posts, call it an ego search.
- Unanswered Threads -- This will give you a list of all those threads that have 0 replies. Could be useful for support forums.
- Threads you've started -- A list of threads you've created. Made a thread last night and it's all the way at page 6 at a fast moving forum? In that case, this would be really useful.

Works like a charm on 3.0.1, I think it'll work on 3.0.0 too but haven't tested this myself.
