Hack Support
This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. You can now check out the 3.8.x version of this hack, as it also works with v3.7.5, v3.6.12 (and maybe even earlier versions). Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack. vBulletin Version Compatibility This hack can be used with v3.6.10 and v3.7.x. This has not been tested with earlier versions of v3.6.x, but should work. What Does This Hack Do? This is a hack that lets your members select the type of postbit they want displayed for themselves, just like here at vBulletin.org. vBulletin now uses a horizontal postbit as default, but it used to display the postbit vertically in two columns (see screenshots) and some long time members prefer the old school postbit over the new one, and this hack gives them the option. You can leave the forum wide setting as the new postbit, and members can choose themselves if they want this or the old one. Show single posts will also be affected by this setting. Now, as an added bonus, you can choose to display the member's default postbit in posts or threads. DEMO: You can see how this works by testing the function out right here at vBulletin.org, all you need to do is tick the Yes, I prefer old-style postbit checkbox in the Thread Display Options of User CP -> Edit Options. Then check a few threads to see what it does. IMPORTANT NOTE: This hack will only work if you use the horizontal postbit display site-wide. I have no plans in making it work with the postbit legacy site-wide. I have looked into it, and it would require code changes to vBulletin's core files to make it work. So, under the Style & Language Settings section of vBulletin Options in the AdminCP:
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: When using Quick Reply when you are in legacy layout with your postbits, posts the QR are displayed in postbit layout when submitted. This quirk is rectified with a refresh of the page (see post #46 for more info). But there is a fix in the v3.8.x version of this hack (which will work with 3.7.x). Installation Instructions The Default Postbit Installation Instructions 3.7.xxx.pdf instructions file is included in attached .zip (includes visual instructions). NOTE: If upgrading then just do Step 2 and Step 3 again. Uninstall Instructions

Will this work in reverse if the plugins are edited? That is, it would make postbit_legacy the default and allow members to select the newer postbit if they want to.

So, you are welcome to have a go, but if it does not work, I suggest you use the new postbit system wide and get members to select the legacy postbit if they want it.

Awesome!!!
I don't like the wording, so I am going to be editing the phrases. If anybody would like to know what I changed it to:
I don't think the original wording was bad... it's just that my users most likely will not understand it. LOL Great mod! No members have liked this post.

I updated the first post to reflect this a while ago to mention that I had looked into it.
