This is the section of code from the newthread template that I assume causes the check boxes to be checked by default for "Show your signature" and "Automatically parse links in text", and causes the check box for "Disable smilies in text" to be unchecked by default:

			<vb:if condition="$show['misc_options']">
			<div class="blockrow">
				<label>{vb:rawphrase miscellaneous_options}:</label>
				<ul class="checkradio group rightcol">
					<vb:if condition="$show['signaturecheckbox']">
					<li>
						<label for="cb_signature"><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="1" id="cb_signature" tabindex="1" {vb:raw checked.signature} /> {vb:rawphrase show_your_signature}</label><p class="description">{vb:rawphrase show_your_signature_explain}</p>
					</li>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$show['parseurl']">
					<li>
						<label for="cb_parseurl"><input type="checkbox" name="parseurl" value="1" id="cb_parseurl" tabindex="1" {vb:raw checked.parseurl} /> {vb:rawphrase automatically_parse_links_in_text}</label><p class="description">{vb:rawphrase automatically_parse_links_description}</p>
					</li>
					</vb:if>
					{vb:raw disablesmiliesoption}
				</ul>
			</div>
			</vb:if>

My assumption is that much is missing from {vb:raw disablesmiliesoption}, but I don't know what the label, input type name, and id are for disablesmiliesoption.
