this worked for me on vb 2.2.6

Open showthread.php

Find

$postdone = array();

and ABOVE it put:

// Hack post count and link

$postcount = ($pagenumber - 1 ) * $perpage;

// Hack post count and link end

Find

$postbits .= getpostbit($post);

and ABOVE it put:

// Hack post count and link

$post[postcount] = ++$postcount;

// Hack post count and link end

Save and upload.

Edit template postbit and place the following text where you want the post # to show.

(<a href="showthread.php?postid=$post[postid]#post$post[postid]">Post #$post[postcount]</a>)

its probably been posted before but it may help someone
