Comments on: how to list comments by users in WordPress?

I found out why it was only showing 4 commenters - by default, it only shows members that have posted more than 5 comments. The limit is hardcoded onto line 518 of wp-stats.php and can be easily modified (I just changed the call to get_commentmembersstats(0, 0, false); and now all commenters show up. Looks like the plugin was designed to expose this as a setting, but the UI never got built... @Will Community Cloud is interesting, and I just installed it here to play with it, but it's not what we need for this project. It provides the great cloud view, but links to the poster's own blog, rather than to a page on the course blog listing that person's contributions. Handy, but not what's needed.

How's about the Community Cloud plugin?

we’re finding for some reason that it’s only showing 4 commenters on this one blog that has well over a dozen active users. I’ll take a look at the code (it appears to be working fine on my main blog). Hopefully it’s pretty minor.

@Ian WP-Stats does EXACTLY what I need! Thanks for the tip!

Part of the WP-Stats plugin lists comment stats by commenter. They are clickable and lead to a page listing all the comments and which post they’re from – it’s pretty handy. Unfortunately, it lists them by alias, so if the same commenter uses different names, it won’t aggregate them the way an e-mail address-based list would.
