I recently discovered by accident that you can see how many messages you have in a (watched) thread by simply clicking on your profile icon that appears alongside it (in the thread list sections). So now I'm a little bit curious as to what threads may be the most posted in here.

The threads that I've posted the most messages in currently seem to be...

Place your random thoughts. (253)
Community Salad (155)
ask the below user a question! (139)
A - Z of songs/artists. (74)
The Person Below Me... (65)
Post lyrics to a song thats on your mind. (58)
 
That's a cool discovery. I never knew about that.

There are two threads that I try to post in daily, so I only checked those. I'm pretty sure I'm not even close to these numbers on other threads.

What Did You Accomplish in Your Town Today in the New Leaf section - 1364 posts
What Are You Happy About Today? in Brewster's Cafe - 966 posts

@Ghost Of Mascevanje BTW - I love your profile pic! Opossums are awesome!
 
I have:
“What’s Bothering You?” - 201 posts and counting.
“What are you happy about today?” - 237 posts and counting.

Those are the threads that are over 200 posts for me. I spend most of my time in Brewster’s Cafe, and it seems like I’m bothered quite a bit, lmao.
 
For anybody who's curious, you can see all the threads you've posted in by selecting the dropdown arrow beside "Forums" and selecting "Threads with your posts", or by simply clicking this link.

Anyways, using that page, then using some JS to do some filtering for me so I don't have to try and figure out how many posts I got in over 1700 threads by myself, my top 5 currently are:
  1. My current TBT Marketplace selling thread (195)
  2. NH Update v2.0 + HHP Discussion Thread (104)
  3. TBT Marketplace thread looking for Red Star Fragments (75)
  4. DIY giveaway thread (74)
  5. hell thread Wildlife Spotting (Poliwags) (72)
1/3 are due to lots of bumping. 2 is due to posting about v2.0 and HHP a bunch (helps that I created the thread and felt more motivated to post in it, lmao). 4 is partially due to bumping, partially due to a fair amount of activity. 5 is due to it being hell.

I used a combination of the Inspect tool to figure out the HTML element that had this info and what it contained, and the Browser Console ("Console" tab to the immediate right of "Elements" (Chrome)/"Inspector" (Firefox)) to actually run the JS.

This is the JS I used. Nothing fancy, just enough to get the job done and spit out the thread title/URL and my # of posts in that thread for any thread I've posted in more than 10 times:
JavaScript: 
var list = $(".structItem-secondaryIcon"); // jQuery selector, class is used exclusively for the icon that you can hover over to see your # of posts in that thread
var found = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
  var posts = parseInt(list[i].getAttribute("aria-label").match(/\d+/g)[0]); // aria-label is where the message is contained, regex match used to fetch the number of out the message, gets parsed into an integer
  if (posts > 9) { // this can be any int value
    var thread = $(list[i]).closest(".structItem").find(".structItem-title > a"); // jQuery used to traverse the HTML to get the anchor tag containing the link and thread title
    console.log("Thread title: '" + thread.text() + "'; Thread URL: 'https://www.belltreeforums.com" + thread.attr("href") + "'; Posts: " + posts);
    found++;
  }
}
// just a basic if statement to know if it didn't find any threads with enough posts for that page
if (found == 0) {
  console.log("No threads containing 10+ of my posts.");
}

cool, thanks for sharing! only other thing I'm wondering is, when I run the script it only shows the results for the threads on that particular page (and for me there are 243 pages of threads lol) how do you get around that? or is there no way to do it 😅

Unfortunately no, you'll just have to do it manually. But it's still fairly fast to just press up (which will get the last entered JS), press enter, then click on the next page and repeat, much faster than trying to do it all manually, lol.

i gotcha, thanks for replying again! sorry about bombarding you with questions lol


it'll prob take me multiple hours to go through all mine, but I can say with a good amount of confidence that the What's Bothering You thread is at least in the top 5 for me, with almost 1300 of my posts (and that doesn't even include the older WBY thread from like 2017 which I also posted in lmaooo)
 
Grateful for @~Kilza~ 's JS, because otherwise I wouldn't have bothered!

Oh my gosh you guys, this made me miss camp! 🏕️

There was also a drawing thread (47 posts) and a TBT marketplace thread (45 posts).
 
I think it would be "Quick, Before the Mods Come!" in which I have 434 messages. I don't post a lot on other threads so I don't really know.
 
This made me curious because I don't frequent the basement/spam type threads often despite their purpose and I don't have many posts in singular threads even though I've been a member here for 8 years. And the threads I do have a lot of posts in, I have no memory of the stuff I used to post in there or haven't posted there in actual years 😂 anyways:

ask the below user a question (45)
what do you look like (58) (???? haha what)
what are you happy about today (15)
what are you listening to (60) (this makes sense)

acnh screenshare and video capture (33)
what did you accomplish on your island (14)
official new leaf screenshot thread (141) (this might be my most posted!)
