Add "view my entries in this community" to post-entry-creation page for communities

Title:
Add "view my entries in this community" to post-entry-creation page for communities

Area:
community membership, workflow: entry posting

Summary:
When you successfully make an entry in a community, add the link to view the rest of your entries to the little menu.

Description:
There's a list of suggested/possible/common actions to take after posting an entry, and I noticed on a recent change, that for successful posting in a community, the "edit my entries" link was removed -- for good and sufficient reason, because making that specific link work with communities was basically just not on from a developer perspective.

Something that currently exists and is relevant is the http://community.dreamwidth.org/?poster=username link, which locates all of the users entries to that community.

It would not be particularly development-difficult to add this link to the list of common possibilities, and it could help drive discovery of that really fascinating and useful feature.

Also, if someone needed to edit their past entries to the community, the entries would be listed right there.

I don't think it makes sense to require someone (who doesn't like or know about or remember the exact syntax for typing in URLs) to make a post in order to get to a link to view his/er own entries. Such a link should exist, but it should be placed someplace more accessible, that doesn't require posting in or even membership in the community. Maybe that little grey area at the top of the page, where there's a bunch of empty space after "Track". (Putting it additionally where you suggest would be fine, that just shouldn't be the only place.)

It's a cool feature but not necessarily memorable, so I like this idea.

In addition to the above suggestion, not instead of it.

I don't think it's that you'd be required to make a post to see this, just that it would be a useful addition to the "you successfully posted" page. It should also be linked somewhere else, yes.

I agree with this, but I also think that comms should have the option of displaying "all posts by this user" on the entry page/recent page of a comm, ideally just after the username itself, something like:

Posted by: matgb (all posts)

I thinkk I could hack an S2 layer to do this with some thoguht (although I haven't touched S2 for a year so I'm rusty), but it would definitely be a good approach.
