[Q] Post Count in a Given Thread

[Infected Mushroom]

Hi,

This is somewhat of a beginner question: Is there a way for me to check how many posts (the post count) I have in a specific thread?

So, not to find a specific post... but just to see the number of them? =)

Hello,

there may be different ways to do it,

but two ways that I can think of first involve getting the thread id from the url; for example, this thread has ID 491478 (from &t=491478 )
and then:

1) check via egosearch and the thread id (you can do this only for your own username, while logged on)

Code: Select all

https://forum.nationstates.net/search.php?search_id=egosearch&t=PUT_THREAD_ID_HERE

2) check via profile id and the thread id (you can do this for any username)
2a) get your own profile ID; you can find it if you hover your username in a thread (for example, your own username ID is 541409 )
2b) check

Code: Select all

https://forum.nationstates.net/search.php?author_id=PUT_YOUR_USERNAME_ID_HERE&t=PUT_THREAD_ID_HERE

As an example, this is if you want to find all your posts in your most active topic at this time, Hong Honk :
search.php?author_id=541409&t=466241


This will give both the total number of posts and the actual individual posts. Obviously, there may be other parameters you can add if you don't want to see the actual posts, but I haven't investigated that possibility as of this moment (if it is even possible).

Hope this helps.
