This was inspired from the [Another Forum System that starts with V] feature but it's not exactly the same. It isn't a traditional "Split Thread" feature in the sense that you can't move off existing posts into a new thread. Rather, it allows users (including non-staff) to start new threads based off a post in a different thread. It encourages users to take a thread in another direction without hijacking the thread.
The page above should explain it if it still wasn't clear. Notice as an added bonus you can also PM the poster (or someone else) and quote the post they made it to refer to it, which is useful if you want clarification on something they posted but want it to be private.
Users who can't start threads in a particular board still won't be able to with this code, though the fork thread button will appear as long as they can reply. You're not limited to the board that the original thread was in, though it is pre-selected by default.

If the code is only placed in a single board's footer, many things won't work correctly.
Notice there are seperate messages for starting new threads and PMing someone, and both are customizable. The prefix and suffix values get wrapped around a link to the original thread. The code is ready to go without any editting needed if you don't want to change any of the default values.
Please do not PM me for code support. Use the code support board.
