I find that members post more when there is a post new thread option after they have posted / when there reading thread so i have done the following with a little bit of help from Lynne (thanks)

Go to the Showthread template :

First find :

HTML Code:
<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}" 
class="textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
			<img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="images/misc/progress.gif"  alt="" />
then after add :

HTML Code:
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
then find :

HTML Code:
<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}" 
			class="textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom"
			><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
Then after add :

HTML Code:
&nbsp <span style="padding-left:140px">
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></span>
UPDATE

Make the new thread button bigger as requested

Go to > Showthread.css

At the very bottom add >

HTML Code:
#newthreadlink_top, #newthreadlink_bottom {
	background: {vb:stylevar control_content_background};
	-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
	-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
	-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #e1e1e1;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #e1e1e1;
	font: {vb:stylevar control_content_font};
	color: {vb:stylevar control_content_color};
	padding: {vb:stylevar control_content_padding};
	display:inline-block;
	clear:both;
}
#newthreadlink_top span, #newthreadlink_bottom span {
	font-size:15px;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:inline;
}
#newthreadlink_top:hover, #newthreadlink_bottom:hover {
