Here is what I did.

Edit SHOWTHREAD

Find this section:

<!-- controls above postbits -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
	<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>
	<else />
		<td class="smallfont">&nbsp;</td>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['pagenav']"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls above postbits -->

Change it to this (The RED text is the addition)

<!-- controls above postbits -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
	<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<g:plusone></g:plusone></td>
	<else />
		<td class="smallfont">&nbsp;</td>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['pagenav']"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls above postbits -->

That puts the +1 just to the right of Post Reply at the top.
