AnonymousSpeed Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
