Okay, maybe everyone knows about this. Oh, and maybe it’s not an actual **feature** , but rather just a “thing.”

If you’re looking at a list of threads (either ALL new posts, or just a page in a forum), and click on the “replies” number, you’ll get a little popup that lists every poster in that thread and how many posts each has made to that particular thread.

For example, if you go to **Great Debates** and naviagate to Welcoming His4ever, Our First Actual “Chick” Chick ![Welcoming His4ever, Our First Actual "Chick" Chick!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131947), then click on the “Replies” number (it’s currently 239), you get:

I just think that’s cool. You can easily see who is dominating the conversation.

Plus, I’m easily amused. 🙂

I never even _thought_ to see if clicking on the Replies number would take me anywhere. Never even noticed that it was a hyperlink.

Thanks, **dantheman**!

Well, like I said - I’m easily amused. I also went to my profile and made it so every hyperlink is highlighted - makes it easier for me to see what’s a link. 🙂

The first time someone posted about this in ATMB, I was surprised too. I had never thought to click on the number of replies to see what would happen.
