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"

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

==================================

======================================
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">

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!
