If there would be no users in the chat "vbChat (0)" or just "vbChat" would be great. I'm using the ported chat on 3.5

You could do the following:

Open forum/index.php, find

PHP Code:

    // Configure Peeps In vBChat
    $invBChat = "";

    if(is_array($vbchat_users)){
        foreach($vbchat_users as $invbc){
            if($invBChat == ""){
            $extra = "";
            } else {
            $extra = ", ";
            }

        // Get Username Style
        $invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

        $invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
        }
    }

    if($invBChat == ""){
    $invBChat = "<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>";
    } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

    // Configure Peeps In vBChat
    $invBChat = '';
    $num_in_chat = 0;

    if (is_array($vbchat_users))
    {
        foreach ($vbchat_users AS $invbc)
        {
            if ($invBChat == '')
            {
                $extra = '';
            }
            else
            {
                $extra = ', ';
            }

        // Get Username Style
        $invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

        $invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
        $num_in_chat++;
        }
    }

    if($invBChat == '')
    {
        $invBChat = '<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>';
    } 


Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Expand All Templates

Open the 'navbar' template, find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

Replace with:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a> ({$num_in_chat})</td>

That seems to do it, tested it on mine and works fine
