For who posted how many times just click the reply count (the link in the number of replies column)

Look low down on the left in the Advanced Search window, there is a checkbox for "post" or "thread" (I think those were the terms). The default is "thread", but if you change it to "post" it will take you to just the post that they made.

Well, those were both bloody obvious. Thanks guys.

Quite a while ago (but I'm fairly certain it was after we switched to these forums), I found a button that showed me a list of everyone who had posted in the thread I was reading and how many times they'd posted in the thread. Clicking a name took you to their profile (as normal), and clicking the post count brought up a search for all their posts in the current thread. I've tried to find that button again, but it eludes me. Am I mistaken, and it was part of the old forums? And if it is part of the new ones, where the heck is it?
