Ok I run 2.2.1 and I did freddies method then did crinos's postbit edit and I don;t see anything new in my postbit... Any ideas?

Also how can I make it look similar to how it looks on here? Upper right and make it a link like on here? Thanks!

LuBi, replace $countposts with $post[postcount]

I tried.. and it showed but I can't get it in the upper right or as a link. Thanks though bira

LuBi, that's a design issue :)

you need to put it in a <td align=right></td> :)

I have Tommy Boy's current post counter hack installed, and then I installed this one, and I have a sort of weird problem.

The post numbers come up fine...except they are the current post number not the number of that post.

So if this is the second post in a thread, and is my 34th out of 56 posts, it comes up "Post #34" instead of "Post #2".

I haven't been able to find where the conflict is, so I was wondering if anyone else had this same problem and fixed it?

Thanks!:)

sadie what is the variable you use in the postbit template for each of these hacks? Can you paste it here?

Looks like we're using the same variable name (postcount), bira! :D

Great thing, installed it with no probs... thx !

I ran into the same situation as Sadie. I took Tommy's hack and made the database field upostcount and changed all the instances of postcount to upostcount in his code. Everything works great. :)

I modified Tommy's use of postcount because Freddie already added the postcount variable to vb 3.0. Since Bira's code is going to be built in to the official release, I chose to leave it alone.

This is my postbit template :)

Oh yeah - I see the postcount now - duh!

So can I just rename the variables?
