Continuing the discussion from [Cannot filter "X posts in topics" from private profile cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/cannot-filter-x-posts-in-topics-from-private-profile-cards/208689):
When you click a user avatar in a discussion, it reveals a user card, in which you can click a nice “_ **X posts in topic** _” filter button, that will show you all their posts, without the other user posts.
But for some users, the user card only shows “_ **This user is no longer active.** _”
But then in this case, the “_ **X posts in topic** _” filter button is also **not shown** , which I think is not by design.
Here is [an example with @codinghorror](https://meta.discourse.org/t/vbulletin-emojis/22214/2).
It would be nice to be able to filter, even if the editor is no longer active, like for any users.

Looks like that didn’t cover the inactive/deactivated users:

Oh yeah, you’re right. Must have misread.
