I got this working for 4.2.1. Thank you for this plugin. It saved many hours.

I'm no vBulletin programmer but I can hack my way through. Here were my steps:

Upload the contents of the 4.X.X zip file to admin, includes, pics directories.

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

Browse to product-custom_thread_forms.xml

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Disable Template Changes - newthread_form_complete

Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Custom Thread Field Settings -> Edit -> Enable Custom Thread Fields -> Yes

Admin CP -> Settigns -> Options -> Custom Thread Field Settings -> Edit -> Template Changes -> No

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Threads Field Manager -> Add a new Field

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Search in Templates -> Search for newthread -> Select newthread -> Customize

--Find this code in the newthread template--
-----------------------
{vb:raw messagearea}
-----------------------

--Below Add--
-----------------------
<vb:if condition="$custom_form">
<BR>
<fieldset>
{vb:raw custom_form}
</fieldset>
<BR>
</vb:if>
-----------------------

-- Optional Steps --

--I like my new field above the text area {vb:raw messagearea} so I did this and used a new blockrow:
<div class="blockrow">
<vb:if condition="$custom_form">
<fieldset>
{vb:raw custom_form}
</fieldset>
</vb:if>
</div>

-- I also wanted my field displayed in front of the message so I updated the plugin:
Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Custom Thread Forms [newthread_post_start - newthread_post_start -> Edit

-- Find
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $vbulletin->GPC['message'] . "$break $custom_message";

-- Replace with
$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = $custom_message."<BR><BR>".$vbulletin->GPC['message'];

Thanks again for the plugin! Hope this helps!!
