Record count help needed

Question

I am trying to wirte a MySQL query where I can display the record number returned in a repeat region... eg:
Record 1
Record 2
Record 3
Record 4
Record 5 etc...
I keep getting a stupid number or a '0' repeated  in place of the incrementing number.
I have:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count, fld_fID, fld_fTHREADID FROM tbl_forumPOSTS WHERE fld_fTHREADID = %s
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Here's how I imnplemented it for those who require it:
Basically, to achieve an automated row count for the amount of records returned from a repeat region, one needs to take the original query and wrap it into a subquery with the rownum as the outside query... like so:
SELECT table1.* xxx, @rownum:=@rownum+1 AS rownum
          FROM
                    SELECT table1.*, `table2`.`field1` AS table2_field1, table3.* etc etc
                    FROM tbl_table1
                    JOIN table2 ON table2.field1 = table1.field1
  table1,
(SELECT @rownum:=0) r
The SELECT bit between the first two brackets is my original query that I needed to get a count on of 1 to 10 or however records are returned.
On the outer query, you also need to make an alias of the table you're drawing records from otherwise you'll get an error saying the table doesn't exist:
table1.* xxx
or for your clarity you could say:
table1.* AS xxx
Now all is in place, within your bindings panel (if you still have it ), simply locate the rownum and insert it into your repeat region:
<?php echo($row_recordsetname['rownum']); ?>
By wrapping the original query in brackets and making it a subquery, you stop the rownum returning strange results. So for 10 results, I was getting it start from 1 to 10, then the same results would start from 217 to 227, then 55 to 65 and so on... everything I did was not consistent or even accurate most of the time.
Hope this helps.
