detecting number of posts in a thread

Is there an easy way to detect the number of posts in a thread? I want the reply button to be a quote button if there are no posts in the thread. Thus making sure people quote the original thread post for the first reply. Is there a variable already assigned in vB with this info? Maybe for show thread template? what do you think?

I think this should work:

Code:

<if condition="$GLOBALS['counter'] == 1 && $GLOBALS['limitlower'] == 0">

only one post

<else />

more than one post

</if>

ETA: added the check for $limitlower because I realized $counter is per page, so any page with one post would have triggered the "only one post" code.

I guess it needs a space between the <else and the />, which I added above. I tried it in my SHOWTHREAD and it seems to work. What happens for you?
