Required: Template Conditionals or PHP in Templates / Complex Templates plugin.

This will hide the New Thread button automatically when a user doesn't have permission to create a new thread in a forum.

forumdisplay_newthread:

HTML Code

<if $fpermissions['canpostthreads'] == 1 then>
<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}"><img src="{$theme['imglangdir']}/newthread.gif" alt="{$lang->post_thread}" title="{$lang->post_thread}" /></a>
</if>

This will hide the New Reply button automatically when a user doesn't have permission to post a new reply in a thread.

showthread_newreply:

HTML Code

<if $forumpermissions['canpostreplys'] == 1 then>
<a href="newreply.php?tid={$tid}"><img src="{$theme['imglangdir']}/newreply.gif" alt="{$lang->post_reply_img}" title="{$lang->post_reply_img}" /></a>&nbsp;
</if>

The same conditional if we want to hide the Reply button in postbit:
postbit_quote template:

HTML Code

<if $forumpermissions['canpostreplys'] == 1 then>
<a href="newreply.php?tid={$tid}&amp;pid={$post['pid']}"><img src="{$theme['imglangdir']}/postbit_quote.gif" alt="{$lang->postbit_quote}" title="{$lang->postbit_quote}" /></a>
</if>

We can use a <else> condition for users who don't have permission.
For example, we can use a button to link to our registration page, and use a different image:

HTML Code

<if $fpermissions['canpostthreads'] == 1 then>
<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}"><img src="{$theme['imglangdir']}/newthread.gif" alt="{$lang->post_thread}" title="{$lang->post_thread}" /></a>
<else>
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register"><img src="{$theme['imglangdir']}/register.gif" alt="Register" title="Only member can post a thread in this forum. Please register first" /></a>
</if>
