Hook ... forumbit_display

[Lynne]

If you look at the code, you'll see that the hook forumbit_display is in the function construct_forum_bit. It is called around line 433 of forumdisplay.php. $show['newthreadlink'] is defined on line 236 (I didn't look up the other) which would lead you to think it should be available, *however*, the show variables are not passed to the function construct_forum_bit so they aren't available for use there.
