Thanks for the help. I appreciate this so much!!
I did the SHOWTHREAD edit. I put my code just before the
<vb:if condition="$show['next_prev_links']">
I did some testing on my own and I have the code more where I want it. I moved it up in the template
my code and where I have placed it
<vb:if condition="$show['signaturecheckbox']">
<div class="showsignature">
<ul class="checkradio">
<li><label for="cb_signature">
<input type="checkbox" name="signature" id="cb_signature" value="1" checked="checked" tabindex="1" />
{vb:rawphrase show_your_signature}
</label></li>
</ul>
</div>
</vb:if><body>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><span class="s1">TEST CODE PLACEMENT 1</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p2"></p>
</body>
</html>
<vb:if condition="$show['openclose']">
<div class="openclose">
<ul class="checkradio">
<li><label for="cb_openclose">
<input type="checkbox" name="openclose" id="cb_openclose" value="1" tabindex="1" />
<vb:if condition="$show['closethread']">{vb:rawphrase close_this_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase reopen_this_thread}</vb:if>
</label></li>
</ul>
</div>
</vb:if>
</div>
<div class="blockfoot actionbuttons">

The screen shot shows what I have done.
TEST CODE PLACEMENT 1 is where I have showed you where I moved it up in the template. text is in RED
TEST CODE PLACEMENT 2 was put just above the <vb:if condition="$show['next_prev_links']"> where you said to put it.
Either way seems to be working fine with out anything breaking or any errors.
Anything wrong with what I have done?
Again I really appreciate your help!!

I removed this line of code. I think it was useless since nothing in between them
