Members can see how many are subscribed to their thread

It seems to work for me, like if I add it here (showing only the end of the above code):

</vb:each>
</ol>
</div>
<vb:if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $bbuserinfo[userid]">
{vb:raw subscribed_count} subscribed to this thread
</vb:if>
</div>
</div>
</vb:if>

If you're trying to put it somewhere else you'll have to show us exactly what you're doing.
