Adding postnumber to threadadmin_postbit

[Blind Guardian]

Moderators at my forum have complained about how it's difficult to split a large thread into a new person's name, as the posts are so trunicated when viewing the postings.php page that splitting is very time consuming.

Now, i've tried editting the threadadmin_postbit template myself to add in the postnumbers of each post in the thread (as they appear in the top right of each posts on showthread.php) next to the "Split/Delete" checkbox. However, i've been trying to directly take the portion of code from the postbit_legacy template to display the postnumber and imput it into threadadmin_postbit, and no matter how I try to arrange the code it doesn't want to comply.

My most recent attempt was to add in:

&nbsp;<strong>$post[postcount]</strong>

After:

<if condition="$show['deleteposts']">$vbphrase[delete]

And then again after:

<else />$vbphrase[split]

So basically I would be greatly appreciative if someone could point out my error and help me get this working. I think it'd be much more useful to have the specific postnumber listed on threadadmin_postbit than the various hacks i've seen to extend the trunication on the posts themselves.

Thanks to anyone who tries to help.
