NOW SELECT SHOWTHREAD TO OPEN!

======================================
1: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE!
======================================

FIND THIS CODE:

<div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">
		<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
			<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1"

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"  style="margin-left:10px;"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>

<!--- POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE END --->

==================================
NOTE: ADJUST THE RED ONE IF NEEDED!
==================================

======================================
2: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON BELOW!
======================================

NOW GO DOWN BELOW AND SEARCH/FIND THIS CODE:

<div id="below_postlist" class="below_postlist">
	<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" 
	class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom">

<!--- POST NEW THREAD BUTTON BELOW END --->

==================================
NOTE: ADJUST THE RED ONE IF NEEDED!
==================================

SPECIAL NOTE:
Now you will notice that something is not right... the Post New Thread or Reply To Thread Button is quite larger or bigger than the others (Because Of The Font Size!)
Now you want to have it all the same size...which is more better to see...right?


NOW GO TO EDIT THAT BUTTON:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search in Style:Click Dropdown Arrow (Choose Actual Style)> Search for Text: vbulletin-chrome.css > Search Titles Only: YES > Click Find

NOW GO SELECT vbulletin-chrome.css TO OPEN

Search in Template: .newcontent_textcontrol span { Click Find:


OR LOOK/FIND THIS CODE:

}
.newcontent_textcontrol span {
	font-size:15px;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:inline;
}

CHANGE/ADJUST THE RED INTO: 10-12px



SAVE AND RELOAD FOR A TEST IF NOT OKAY ADJUST MORE:

UNTIL OKAY....SAVE AND ENJOY!

As my Dad would often say "This fixes something that isn't broken"

How do I make the button invisible for unregistered users?
Thanks....

Wrap it in a conditional.

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"  style="margin-left:160px;"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
</vb:if>

Sorry old boy but I am not so tech savvy... I am sure it works but where do I add this code?
Do I replace existing code or add it underneath?

Very good job sir....

[ozzy47]

Same place the OP told you to do it, either way you want, above or below the post. So instead of using the code he gave, use the code I provided.

[DemOnstar]

Shall give it a shot sir....

Marvelous..
