It would be useful to have the category shown alongside posts in member’s Profiles.

If, for example, a member has been link dropping, I may want to check their other recent posts to see if there are more to be dealt with. If the posts are all pretty similar, it’s very hard to know which is which and where I’ve been and where I’ve not been.

It’s also useful to be able to scan a member’s posts to see where they’ve been most active, or to find posts they’ve made in a particular category.

Sure I support adding it in, we should probably allow you to filter by category as well.

Need some visual mocks on how this would work.
