Your instruction didn't work, so I just snip bits of codes and made it work: (entire template)
This one is better looking one with collapse aswell.
PHP Code:
<form action="newthread.php" method="post" name="vbform">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionurl]" />
<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value="$forumid" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postthread" />
<input type="hidden" name="parseurl" value="1" />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('quickthread')"><img id="collapseimg_quickthread" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_quickthread].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[quick_new_thread]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_quickthread" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_quickthread]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="2"><span class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$session[sessionurl]" 2="$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[more_options_newthread]</phrase></span></td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt2">
<td class="alt2"><b>$vbphrase[subject]:</b></td>
<td class="alt2"><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><b>$vbphrase[message]:</b></td>
<td class="alt1">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr valign="top">
<td><textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="$textareacols" tabindex="2">$message</textarea><br /><br /><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="$vbphrase[submit_new_thread]" accesskey="s" tabindex="3" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_post]" accesskey="p" tabindex="4" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></tbody></table>
<br />
<input type="hidden" name="signature" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="emailupdate" value="$emailupdate" />
</form>
