Can we still view how many posts a user has on a thread?

I'm assuming site questions can go in general.

I seem to remember, years ago, being able to click on the post/view count by a thread's name and see how many posts different users had in that thread, ranked from most to least. There was some other metrics there as well, as I recall. I thought that was a very cool feature, but I don't remember exactly how to view this information. Is this a feature? If so, how do I access it?

not sure if it was diferent before, but as far as I noticed, you can only check this metrics as soon as a thread reaches 3 pages, then it shows up automatically after the first post of any page of the thread. There's a chance I'm wrong and it requires a specific number of total posts, instead of pages, and that it's just a coincidence that it was after it reached 3 pages on the threads I noticed it, but anyway try checking a long thread and see if you don't see it.

 I think it shows more metrics in the computer than on a mobile device too.

 EDIT: Actually I just checked it and it's the same data regarless of being on a PC or mobile device.

you're correct in remembering that this used to be a feature about... i dunno, two major iterations of ip.board ago, maybe three. they stripped it out in favor of the info panel the guy above me posted about a long time ago and to my knowledge a full set of posts-by-user for a thread is no longer accessible including to we staffers. i'll take a look into it this weekend and see if there's a disabled option somewhere but i'm fairly sure the option is just gone and has been replaced by various options for that info panel

I would appreciate if you could. I don't find the info panel as convenient or helpful as the old feature, so I'd be very glad if we could see that again.

Oh yeah, I've seen this before, I guess never fully processed its existence.

Ive seen that before before on other sites. IMHO it was a good way to avoid repeatin yourself in a thread

Like forums? Out of curiosity, which ones? I think I've never seen it but looks like a pretty cool feature.

 

Actually now I'm pretty curious about what was this old feature here on SF like, I like this sort of statistics so something like the usual panel but with even more info sounds awsome.
