i dont think its enabled on vbulletin options but here is mini mod i wrote just now

open showthread.php

find :

$show['largereplybutton'] = (!$thread['isdeleted'] AND !$show['threadedmode'] AND $forum['allowposting']);

under add :

$show['largenewthreadbutton'] = (!$thread['isdeleted'] AND !$show['threadedmode'] AND $forum['allowposting']);

open templte showthread :

find :

<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID"><if condition="$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>

Replace with :

	<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID"><if condition="$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>
	<else />
		<td class="smallfont">&nbsp;</td>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['largenewthreadbutton']">
		<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[newthread]" border="0" />
				</a></td>
	<else />
		<td class="smallfont">&nbsp;</td>
	</if>

thats all

enjoy.
