Wasn't sure whether this belonged in the main forum or the help forum - so I've posted it to both - apologies if this duplication annoys anyone...

I've no idea as to how difficult this would be to implement, but if it were possible it would be helpful to me.

At present you can filter over various periods of time for thread titles. I'd find it really useful if you could do the same thing for the name of a poster.

I realise you can use the drop down menu to find everything ever posted by anyone, but when searching for a long term contributor, this sort of search can take an absolute age.

A couple of times recently, I've wondered whether certain contributors were still around, and at this time of year, they may well be on holiday.

A quick and simple way to see if they'd posted within the last week or so would be really useful.
