History Button

Platforms: Old Reddit and New Reddit · Default: Enabled

History Button adds per-user submission and comment history popups, accessible directly from a username link on any Reddit page.

Overview

Clicking the history button next to a username opens an overlay showing that user’s recent submissions and comment history. This gives moderators quick context about a user without navigating away from the current page.

Features

Submission history — shows the user’s recent submissions with vote counts, subreddits, and dates.

Comment history — shows the user’s recent comments with context links. Comment history is loaded alongside submissions by default.

NSFW filtering — NSFW submissions can be excluded from history results.

Configurable fetch depth — controls how many comments are retrieved per user history lookup (100–1000).
