I always start with something that works and then build from there. This works:

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;

$find = ' . $messagearea . '; 
$add = '."New Text".'; 
   
    $vbulletin->templatecache['newthread'] = str_replace( 
        $find,
        $add, 
        $vbulletin->templatecache['newthread'] 
    );
