I'm using and tested it in 4.1.11 - Make sure you make a copy of your newthread template

In your newthread Template find:

PHP Code:

{vb:raw posticons} 


And below remove (or better yet cut):

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['tag_option']">
            <div class="blockrow">
                <label for="tagpopup_ctrl" class="full">{vb:rawphrase tags}:</label>
                <div id="tagpopup" class="popupmenu nomouseover noclick nohovermenu">
                    <input type="text" class="primary full textbox popupctrl" name="taglist" id="tagpopup_ctrl" value="{vb:raw newpost.taglist}" tabindex="1" />
                    <div id="tagpopup_body" class="popupbody">
                    </div>
                </div>
                <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_suggest.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
                <!--
                    tag_add_comp = new vB_AJAX_TagSuggest('tag_add_comp', 'tagpopup_ctrl', 'tagpopup');
                    tag_add_comp.allow_multiple = true;
                    tag_add_comp.set_delimiters('{vb:raw tag_delimiters}');
                //-->
                </script>
                <p class="singledescription">{vb:rawphrase separate_tags_using_comma}<vb:if condition="$show['tags_remain']"> {vb:rawphrase you_may_add_x_tags_to_thread, {vb:raw tags_remain}}</vb:if></p>
            </div>
            </vb:if>
        </div>
    </div> 


In the newthread find:

PHP Code:


<img id="display_posticon" src="{vb:raw selectedicon.src}" alt="{vb:raw selectedicon.alt}" />

</div> 


after the </div>

Add your cut text or:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['tag_option']">
            <div class="blockrow">
                <label for="tagpopup_ctrl" class="full">{vb:rawphrase tags}:</label>
                <div id="tagpopup" class="popupmenu nomouseover noclick nohovermenu">
                    <input type="text" class="primary full textbox popupctrl" name="taglist" id="tagpopup_ctrl" value="{vb:raw newpost.taglist}" tabindex="1" />
                    <div id="tagpopup_body" class="popupbody">
                    </div>
                </div>
                <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_suggest.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
                <!--
                    tag_add_comp = new vB_AJAX_TagSuggest('tag_add_comp', 'tagpopup_ctrl', 'tagpopup');
                    tag_add_comp.allow_multiple = true;
                    tag_add_comp.set_delimiters('{vb:raw tag_delimiters}');
                //-->
                </script>
                <p class="singledescription">{vb:rawphrase separate_tags_using_comma}<vb:if condition="$show['tags_remain']"> {vb:rawphrase you_may_add_x_tags_to_thread, {vb:raw tags_remain}}</vb:if></p>
            </div>
            </vb:if>
        </div>
    </div>
