In both postbit and postbit_legacy is a line like this:

<div>$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]</div>

Either remove it or comment it out. Also in MEMBERINFO (3.6.8) are these lines:

<tr>
	<td>
	$vbphrase[total_posts]: <strong>$userinfo[posts]</strong> (<phrase 1="$postsperday">$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]</phrase>)
	</td>
</tr>

You may remove them.

I think those are the only places post counts come up.

User Ranks may be small little images or text. They show up in both the postbit and in MEMBERINFO. Basically, you put all your contributors into a Secondary Group and then you can give members in that group a little 'badge' or whatever in their posts/memberinfo.
