Comment Number Background

This is how I do it.
Open comments.php

<?php $i = 0; ?> <--------put that there
<?php if ( $comments ) : ?> <---for reference only

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?> <--- reference
<?php $i++; ?> <---------put that there

And where the comments are to appear:

<span class="count">
<?php echo $i; ?>
</span>

In the css:
.count {float:right;font-size:26px;color:#333}

Post back if needed ??

This is what is looks like so far: https://www.marzar00.finditmax.com/index.php/archives/63#comments

You forgot the css.

Thanks Podz,

all good and working now

Hi!
I tried the same thing, but it’s not counting. The number 1 is displayed for every comment. I suspect that my php skills isn’t exactly helping, but I would really like to get this working.

Any suggestions for a novice?

I’m using this on my site (https://danielsparks.com/blog/2006/05/06/reading-19/), along with Gravatars. Having trouble with placing the number and the Gravatar in the spots I want them. Would like the comment number to be on the far right, with the Gravatar image immediately to its left.

Any ideas? Thanks for the great help!
