I've searched the forums as well as Google and I can't seem to find an answer to this question, so I thought I'd throw it out to the collective brain trust of the MT forums.

How do sites such as Asterisk and others number their comments?

It seems like such a small thing, but I'd like to add that feature to my weblog and I can't seem to find any place that describes how to do it.

Thanks in advance!

I dont know exactly what method that site used.
But in my case, I used php script.

Do you know php?
That site also use php.

Maybe your server supports php.
Then you have to change the setting, File extension for archive files in Preference menu to php.

byte AliBaba,

Thank you for the quick reply! My site is running PHP as well, but I modified the .htaccess file so that I can use a .html extension and still use PHP.

With the script that you placed in your post, are you using any plugins for this to work? I'm not familar with the "MTIfNonZero" tag. Otherwise, I think I follow everything else in the script.

Thanks again!

You shouldn't need php to number the comments - just the MTCommentOrderNumber tag:

David,

Wow. Who know it was so easy? Well, you did, but I sure as heck didn't!

Thanks for the insightful help!
