I think I phrased my question wrong though. I the custom fields I was able to do, but my issues lies with replies to the post.

This is going to sound odd, but I am phrasing this to sound generic, and not necessarily the way it will be implemented on the board.

A user posts a topic. Below the topic area it is totally empty. (no quick reply, no nothing) When a person replies to the topic, text will come up saying "replies to topic below", and obvioulsy, the reply will show.

So it's just a matter of showing or hiding a chunk of text belwo the post, and above the replies, depending upon if there are replies.
