If you would prefer not to have any titles or message icons on posts which are replies (that is, those which are not first posts in a thread) then use the following template modifications to get rid of them. This is the result of This Thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103684) on vBulletin.com and This One (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=64770) on vBulletin.org.
After these modifications, first posts will have the thread title and message icon on top, but the rest of the posts will not. You will still get the normal newthread box when starting a new thread (including the title field and message icon selection box). However, when you reply to a thread, the newreply box no longer has a title field to fill in, nor does the message icon selection box appear. When you edit a post the title field and message icons will only appear for first posts, not replies.

Remove the following code from the newreply template:
<!-- subject field -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont" colspan="3">$vbphrase[title]:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="$title" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" title="$vbphrase[optional]" /></td>
<td> </td>
<td><img id="display_posticon" src="$selectedicon[src]" alt="$selectedicon[alt]" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / subject field -->
And:
$posticons
Next, add the code in red to the postbit (and/or postbit_legacy) template:
<!-- icon and title -->
<if condition="$post['postid'] == $thread['firstpostid']">
<div class="smallfont">
<if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$post[iconpath]" alt="$post[icontitle]" border="0" /></if>
<if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong></if>
</div>
<hr size="1" color="$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
<else /><br />
</if>
<!-- / icon and title -->
Now, add the code in red to the editpost template here:
<!-- subject field -->
<if condition="$show['firstpostnote']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<tr>
<td class="smallfont" colspan="3">$vbphrase[title]:</td>
</tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="title" value="$title" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" title="$vbphrase[optional]" /></td>
<td> </td>
<td><img id="display_posticon" src="$selectedicon[src]" alt="$selectedicon[alt]" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
<!-- / subject field -->
And here:
<if condition="$show['firstpostnote']">
$posticons
</if>
