XF 1.1 Change "Post new Thread" target and text?

[drawmonster]

I'm wanting to change the text and where the button points to. I need it to point to a different URL on the forum.

I've tried search, but I must be searching for the wrong terms or something. Thanks!!

That is defined in this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> forum_view

<xen:if is="{$canPostThread}">
	<xen:set var="$newDiscussionButton"><a href="{xen:link 'forums/create-thread', $forum}" class="callToAction"><span>{xen:phrase post_new_thread}</span></a></xen:set>
	<xen:if is="!{$renderedNodes}">
		<xen:topctrl>{xen:raw $newDiscussionButton}</xen:topctrl>
	</xen:if>
</xen:if>

Is there a way to change the target of the button on a per forum basis? We want the post button to direct the user to a specific form URL, depending on which forum they want to post in. I'm using Simple forms, and want each forum "Post new thread" button to point to it's own form.

And also, if I change the applied template do I have to customize this again?

Template customizations are preserved during an upgrade, but changes to the default template may require you to manage your customizations, yes.
