How do I remove "Post New Thread" button?

How do I remove the "Post New Thread" button from forum pages that don't allow posts such as Parent Forums or Categories?

This is a mis-leading button. Users click on the button that gives them a message that says they can't do what the button says they can do.

Why would they be able to see the button to begin with? Give me an example page.

They shouldn't :( -> http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?145-vBulletin-4

I just tried blocking the button with a conditional and it didn't work. :| I don't think this is quite possible yet. I will continue to try and figure it out. I was using the following conditional

<vb:if condition="$forum[forumid] != X">
[NEW THREAD]
</vb:if>

and entering in the forumid where the X is in the forumdisplay template and it still didnt hide the button.

Apparently there is an issue with Forum Specific conditionals in the templates.

I just entered in the following code into forum display

<vb:if condition="$forum[forumid] == 148">
TEST TEST
</vb:if>

And the words TEST TEST were no where to be found in forum 148 :| May be a bug/issue. If we can figure out why the forum specific conditionals arent working, we can solve your issue :)
