1: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE!
======================================

FIND THIS CODE:

Code:

<div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">
		<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
			<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1"

2: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON BELOW!
======================================

NOW GO DOWN BELOW AND SEARCH/FIND THIS CODE:

Code:

<div id="below_postlist" class="below_postlist">
	<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" 
	class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom">

NOTE: ADJUST THE RED ONE IF NEEDED!
==================================

SPECIAL NOTE:
Now you will notice that something is not right... the Post New Thread or Reply To Thread Button is quite larger or bigger than the others (Because Of The Font Size!)
Now you want to have it all the same size...which is more better to see...right?

NOW GO TO EDIT THAT BUTTON:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search in Style:Click Dropdown Arrow (Choose Actual Style)> Search for Text: vbulletin-chrome.css > Search Titles Only: YES > Click Find

NOW GO SELECT vbulletin-chrome.css TO OPEN

Search in Template: .newcontent_textcontrol span { Click Find:

OR LOOK/FIND THIS CODE:

Code:

}
.newcontent_textcontrol span {
	font-size:15px;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:inline;
}

CHANGE/ADJUST THE RED INTO: 10-12px

SAVE AND RELOAD FOR A TEST IF NOT OKAY ADJUST MORE:

UNTIL OKAY....SAVE AND ENJOY!

========================================================
NOTE: IF YOU INSTALLED THE MOD BELOW DONT SET THE BUTTON SETTINGS TO BE INVISIBLE (OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT SEE THIS)!

anyone try changing

Code:

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top">

to this

Code:

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top" style="margin-left:15px;">

yet? Change the 15px to distance you want, should work fine. You coule add the definition in your postlist.css template, but as a single line mod this would be fine

EDIT Just noticed a correction needs to be added to the code, don't add DIRECTLY after the vbphrase, here is the code in the showthread template:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
			<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" 
class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

After that, add this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

That should allow them to separate. Will add the permissions check too, i think, cut out the vb:if condition if that doesn't work.
