I think Discourse accomplishes that with the “page navigation” widget on the right. It shows the number of the currently visible post, not a label on each individual one, but that should be enough to give them a sense of place. It also shows the total post count, and a “progress bar” of your progress.

[Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-plugin/32566) will give you a CSV if that’s good enough for what you need.
