> [@Revenant Threshold](#): > > How do I find out my post and thread scores? Your post total is next to your name - just look to the right. To find out about threads you’ve started, left-click your name, hit “view public profile,” and then click the “find all threads started” link. You’ll get a total and (if there aren’t too many) links to all of them. Then it’s just fun with math! ---
