This is documentation for a Drupal module, so mostly only of interest to Drupal forum admins and what not. I wrote this module to count posts on TWF, so you can see it in action all around you. 
Article summary:
The User Stats module inserts information on a user into their posts on a site. It is aimed at forum administrators who need to see the post counts, date registered and IP addresses of their users. This article provides an introduction to the User Stats module and shows how it may be used in themes.
Here is the link: Introduction to the User stats module.
Post any questions/comments here. If you're seeing a specific problem with the module, you should probably raise a bug/support request, from the project home page.

Note to anyone using the advanced forum module: all you have to do is enable user stats. You don't have to add anything to your theme. Advforum automatically finds and uses it.

That's just the Drupal six version of Advanced forum isn't it? I should add that to the article, thanks Michelle.

Nope, that's the D5 version. Actually, I think the D6 version does, too, but I haven't tested it on there. I just copied the function from 5.x as is.

Last time I looked (a few weeks ago) Adv. Forum for Drupal six did use User stats. I thought it was just the six version though.
*** EDIT ***
I've updated the article with a note for Advanced Forum users. Thanks for the tipoff Michelle.

Hmm... Don't know why that would have been. I add features to D5 and then copy them to D6. At any rate, I know it's there now because I installed user stats on my own site.
