 * If “A link to the topic” is chosen, it would be cool to display comment count.
   You think so too?
 * Might you consider adding a checkbox option to loop/query the forum post and 
   display comment count on blog post? Or, perhaps even update the “Link text (when
   showing only a link to the topic):” input field with something like “%rc” to 
   display reply count.
 * p.s. – looks like someone wished for this a long time ago, I would havbe commented
   but it was closed. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-count-3/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-count-3/)
