Possible to implement a "Who Quoted Me" side bar?
Another forum I used to be a member on - The Student Room - has (what I see as) a brilliant feature whereby on the side of the page there is a small bar which shows you who quoted your posts, and when they were quoted, and if you click on it it will take you directly to that post.
