In the template I added $messagearea.
And in my form.php I added

PHP Code:

$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting');
$specialtemplates = array(
    'bbcodecache'
);
require_once('./includes/functions_newpost.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_editor.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php'); 


near the top and at the bottom

PHP Code:

construct_edit_toolbar($newpost['message'], 0, $foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['allowsmilies']); 


just before

PHP Code:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('form_new') . '");'); 


The only problem is that the buttons (e.g. the B (bold) button) don't highlight when mouse overed and when clicking them, nothing happens.
Submitting the forum works ok using $message.
Can you help at all?

Ahhh... I wish I had time to look into that, but I don't. It's to do with the javascript files - make sure they are included. And they are being referred to correctly.
