I would like to move the "Large Reply Button/Link" from where it currently is, by default, on the left bottom of thread, to over on the right below the thread, but would like it above or below the page nav #1,2,3.

I'm pretty sure I have to edit "forum display".
Tried that on my own, but just screwed everything up. LOL

Oh, I am using postbit legacy too.

Any help is appreciated very much.

From the sounds of it, it seems you want to edit the vB SHOWTHREAD template. Look for reply.gif in that template, appears twice, and you will find the spots to edit to move the button to the right.

It is in the SHOWTHREAD template. You need to find the area at the bottom that starts with (this is 3.6, your's may be slightly different):
<!-- controls below postbits -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="top">
The basic format of that table is:
<table>
<tr>
<if reply><td>Reply Button</td></if>
<if navigation><td>Navigation</td></if>
</tr>
</table>


Change it to:
<table>
<tr><td>
<if reply>Reply Button</if>
&nbsp; <!-- non-breaking space between the two, or a br if you want -->
<if navigation>Navigation</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you Lynne and Calorie.
I should've posted which ver of vB I have. (3.7.4) but you steered me in the right direction. I think maybe with the extra code in 3.7.4 I was getting stuff mixed together.

Got it now, and again Thank you for your responses.
