Hello,

Do you have a lot of visitors who may not be familiar with using vBulletin forums?

Make it a little easier for them to ask a question by placing a New Thread button above subforum listings.

To create the additional New Thread button edit your FORUMDISPLAY template:

Under this line near the top:

<if condition="$show['forumslist']">

Add this code:

<!-- controls above subforum list -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls above subforum list -->

You now have an additional New Thread button on pages with subforums!

Thanks for sharing Raymond.

Quick question....you had three 'new thread' buttons and only two categories. Did you put one too many on the demo?
