Bring back "who posted in ..." & post numbers

I'd appreciate if you could bring back the "who posted in..."  feature, you know where you click on the post-count in the topic listing and get a list of who posted in that topic and how many posts that person has in this topic

It would also be nice if you could bring back the post numbers on each post. This is especially handy in counting games like count to a million, as the person above you may have counted wrong, but their post number could still let you know the actual post count.

Those are 2 seperate requests, but I thought I'd put them in 1 post to not clutter the forum up

Thanks in advance!

Topic statistics were one of the items that didn't make it to the IPS change from 3.4 to 4.x

There is this plug-in that may work, but I'm suspicious of anything that was not updated when IPS released their incremental updates.

The old plug-in wasn't completely accurate anyway. There were threads that displayed obviously incorrect data due to the general day to day administration of the forum. I stopped using that personally when I saw how busted it was.

Yeah, we got what is called 'the Kitchen Sink' plug-in that says it has the 'who's posted in this topic stats' thing in it along with a bunch of other things, but I can't find the flag in the settings to turn that on. So I don't think it's actually in there. And the plug-in @Jeric found is questionable since it hasn't been upgraded as he said.

Part of the reason the old one was incorrect was that the site didn't redo the statistics whenever posts were moved or hidden. I think that's been fixed in 4.0... but again, we don't have a plug-in to display the data.  I'll put it on the development list for when we get a developer again.

The post number in a thread... I'll see what I can find. It might be buried in the settings that I have access to.
