New Thread when viewing a thread

[CyberHacK]

I see this has already been requested but Chester misunderstood what he said:

http://www.warezlobby.org/denied-suggestions/38567-downloads-section-suggestion.html

What he ment is that when your viewing a thread it says new reply. it's alot easier for users who mass post appz etc. You can edit 1 of the templates to add a new thread button on the showthread template:
In SHOWTHREAD Template...

Find (Two instances):

<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>
	<else />

Replace it with:

<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
		<td class="smallfont">
<a href="newthread.php?$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>&nbsp;

<a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>
	<else />

I think this has been recommended a few times.

Yup I suggested it before aswell,

It's not a must though as it doesn't take much to press the back button or to go to the forum and click new thread but it would be a nice extra.

Some might click new thread when reply to a post, which wouldn't be too great.

true lol, but if users want to reply, 99.99% of people would know that they want to reply not make a new thread

For people like me who posts >10 threads whenever they post, a new thread button is really helpful.

That would really be an ignorant statement.

I believe with many people being new to forums, they wouldn't know which to click.
