God I hope so. :)
I would hate to have to figure out the massive conditional I originally wrote to do this but removed since Abe relseased this mod.

hummm..... i have a blank page with the VBSilver (SubSilver clone) skin.... when i click on newthread button...

But i dont have any prob with the other skin....

Yes, this does work for vb3.6

Like a charm. :)

Found a new use for this in combination with CMPS. I suppose the same could be done with the custom_ template prefix as well.

I have a couple of forums where people should "only create a new thread if...". I created a small separate page that the new thread button links to with a disclaimer stating clearly the requirements for posting a new thread in that forum and then just manually added the HTML for the new thread button and link. This has stopped mis-posts almost completely.

I do the same thing with my support forums as I was getting a lot of support threads asking about crap not related to my site. So they hit the new thread button and are directed to a disclaimer about what we support before being able to submit the new thread.

This might be a stupid question, but I really don't want to implement this and find out otherwise.

I can set which forum I want this hack to be used in, right? In otherwords, it will not necessarially replace every 'New Thread' button with a link to the form will it?

Yes, you are right. In admincp you will be able to specify new thread button link for each forum independently. I am using this in connection with Abe's Form Hack and it is simply great :-).

After pecking around the general vBulletin settings, I realized it wouldn't be in there, it would be under the Forum Management area for the specific forum.

I'm using it with the Form mod as well. Great mods!

Only one thing would have made me rate this as an excelent mod, the ability to change the 'New Thread' button to read something different in the forums where this is used. I understand that would be a good deal of coding though. I wonder if there's another mod out there that does this?

Marked as Installed!

Maybe a way to change the image. I'll try to work on it.

EDIT: never mind...for some reason, when I did the template reversions, these slipped through. it's fixed now!
