      M.R.,
      First of all, in order to customize the new form, you need qListForm web part. If you have qListForm web part, I think you can do what you would like to do. If you configure the Display Fields property of the qListForm webpart, you can configure different set of fields for different content type. In the discussion list, the top level discussion is represented by Discussion content type. The response is represented by Message content type. So, you can set different fields for each content type. I hope this helps.

      Hello, I am wondering if it’s possible to customize the ‘Reply’ screen? Currently it is identical to ‘New Discussion’ entry form. However, when starting a new discussion I need to display much more information, for example ‘discussion type’, ‘max number of replies’, ‘start date’, ‘end date’ etc that doesn’t make sense to be displayed when replying to a topic…All that is really necessary when a user replies, would the subject and the body. Is there any solution to this issue? Thank you, M.R.

      One more note, qListForm web part is not distributed for free like the qDiscussionView web part. qListForm web part is part of Quest Web Parts for SharePoint product ( http://www.quest.com/web-parts-for-sharepoint).
