I used to have a "My posts" link in my personal nodelet that I got from someone's home node (I've forgotten who it was, and I can't seem to find it again, but thank-you to my forgotten benefactor). It used to use the Perl Monks User Search page by giving it arguments of my handle and a search order. The resulting link used to look like this, basically (the real one had the host name): 

<a href="/index.pl?node_id=6364&usersearch=VSarkiss&orderby=createtime
+%20DESC">
My posts</a>

Sometime last week the link broke, and started sending me to the "can't-find-that-would-you-like-to-try-cpan" page. As a matter of fact, a link like that still works, so if you want to see my posts you can click here. My conclusion is that user search hasn't changed, but personal nodelet has....

So far my attempts to recreate the link in personal nodelet have been futile. I tried a square-brackets link like Perl Monks User Search or with an id:// tag, but couldn't seem to get the arguments in there. Then I tried a plain "<a href" anchor tag, which also didn't work, but had a very strange result. It showed up in personal nodelet, but wrapped in another anchor tag whose href was an html-escaped version of the tag. That is, the result in personal nodelet looked like this(broken out for clarity): 
<a href="%3ca%20href=%22/index.pl...%22%3e">
    <a href="/index.pl...">
        My posts
    </a>
</a>

Are nested anchor tags legal html?? Both browsers I tried (Konqueror and IE5) wanted to follow the outermost href and sent me to the "search" page....

At any rate, here's my question (finally): What changed in personal nodelet? More to the point, how do I set up a link like my dearly departed "My posts"?

TIA
