"New Thread" Button Inside A Thread?

[Elbonian]

I'm personally annoyed at the lack of the "New Thread" button when displaying the contents of a thread. If I already know that I want to start a new thread, then like vBulletin 2.x, I ought to be able to go directly to the "New Thread" option instead of needing to navigate back to the forum page to get to the "New Thread" button. Is this a template that I need to customize? Or is there a setting someplace that is set wrong after I upgrade? (Yeah, I haven't memorized anywhere near all of the things that can be set or un-set in the new Control Panel....)

This is not a setting and you would have to manually add this back into the templates. There have been other threads about this so that would be a good place to start.

Solved!

Well, I couldn't find another thread with the solution, so I found it myself. I modified the SHOWTHREAD template with the bold text, below:

<!-- controls above postbits -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"
style="margin-bottom:3px">
<tr valign="bottom">
<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
   <td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]
   do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID">
   <if condition="$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>[b]<a
   href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]"><img
   src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif"
   alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>[/b]</td>
</if>
<if condition="$show['pagenav']"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls above postbits -->

And:

<!-- controls below postbits -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="top">
<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
   <td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$LASTPOSTID">
   <if condition="$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>[b]<a
   href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]"><img
   src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif"
   alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>[/b]</td>
</if> 
 <if condition="$show['pagenav']"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls below postbits -->

The bold code I inserted, above, was copied from the FORUMDISPLAY template.
