Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now their problem is resolved with an easy and effective solution, assuming it was appropriate for the task at hand.

code:

var b = RegExp("^" + a("#loggedinusername").text().replace(/([.*+?^${}()|\[\]\/\\])/g,
            "\\$1") + "\\s+posted:$");
        a(".bbc-block h4").filter(function() {
            return b.test(a(this).text())
        }).map(function() {
            return a(this).closest(".bbc-block")[0]
        }).addClass("userquoted")

heres a really cool and good use of a regex to capture the author of a post
