Create custom thread fields:
Note that since there is a possibility that each forum has custom newthread, editpost, postbit and postbit_classic templates, so in this tutorial there is no input fields hidden in showthread and newthread/editpost_fisrt. If you want to re-arrange the input like the demo, you need to hide some input fields from the newthread/editpost_fisrt and hide all of them from showthread, then put it manually inside a_newthread, a_editpost_fisrt, a_postbit_first and a_postbit_first_classic templates.
If you decide to hide it, put the output by using {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['key']} manually in your postbit_first and/or postbit_first_classic templates, where key is the Key of the custom thread field(s). That variable will "print" the Display Format of the custom thread field(s).
