TOPIC: Is there a way to show number of comments?

It seems the only place that actually shows the number of comments is on the frontpage version of the article, where it shows the intro text and then it gives you the option to comment with the number of comments in parantheses before the "Read More" link.

On the article page itself, there is a line that has "Comments", then to the right it has the "Add New" button (and "RSS" button) as shown below in the dark blue line...


Is there a way to have the number of comments display in parentheses next to the word "Comments"? {example: Comments (24)} Which fle can I edit and what code would I insert to make this display?

No, Currently there is no feature to show not of messages.
