Adding a counter for template conditionals

[neverstop]

Yep I a m aware the second script is for 4.0

And the problem is it isnt doing anything lol.

If I add $count to the template it doesnt return a number, it just returns '$count'

I tried {vb:raw count} and {vb:raw top_reputation.count} as well. Of course neither worked. I know this should be simple but I am not a coder unfortunately.

Here is the template:

<tr>
<td class="{vb:raw bgclass}">
<font size="3">&raquo;</font> <a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw top_reputation.userid}" rel="nofollow">{vb:raw top_reputation.musername}</a>
</td>
<td class="{vb:raw bgclass}">[{vb:raw top_reputation.credits}]</td>
</tr>

Does that help you realize what I'm looking for?
