Ok found a problem, when I use it around

<if condition="$post['replylink']">
			<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">reply_small<else />quote</if>.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
		</if>

		<if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
			<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" id="qr_$post[postid]" onclick="return false"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickreply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quick_reply_to_this_message]" border="0" /></a>
		</if>

It disappears regardless of whether or not the thread is closed
