First Post Conditional

[the Sandman]

I need a conditional that will allow me to differentiate first posts from the rest of the posts in a Thread.

I've removed the Title field from the newreply template so members replying to a Thread cannot add a title. So, only the frst post in the Thread has a title. Now, I'd like to remove the Thread icon and the line that goes beneath the Thread icon and title on any post after the first post.

Zachery posted (at vBulletin.com) that "$post[count] is the varible - it numbers each post in the thread". But I've been unable to construct a proper conditional - no matter what I've tried either all the posts have the Thread icon and title area or none do. How can I accomplish what I want?
