I wanted to use some of the site statistic variables in a side column but I noticed that some don't show up on the showthread page. Any idea how to get them to show up?

Is there a tutorial or easy way to learn how to use these and design with them, as in pulling certain elements up to the front page? Seems very powerful!!!
