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

I am aware of the issue, it is not a bug, but a behaviour due to the fact that we are tricking vBulletin into thinking that we are using postbit_legacy when the forum is actually not using it.
It is because he is using Quick Reply, and as the whole page has loaded before he has replied, he is relying on Ajax to display the post after he has replied, and considering that vBulletin is being tricked into thinking it is in another mode from person to person, it will initially revert the postbit to horizontal, until the page has been refreshed, we can not get around this without edits to vBulletin files. That would probably require at least editing vbulletin_quick_reply.js, which is a core vBulltin file (maybe other files too, but have not looked into it yet). I am not really up on javascript or ajax, but may attempt to fix it at some point (I will give no timeframe). But the only problem with the edits, is that each and every time vBulletin is updated, you will have to apply the edits.

 I really like this modification, it is fantastic. I have been using version 3.7.001 since it was first launched. I just now upgraded to the new version because I realized the issue with the highlighted search terms. I am now noticing this error where the postbit is horizontal until the page is refreshed (when using Quick Reply). However I am 99.99% sure that this did not happen in the first version. I would have noticed it a long time ago. So why is it just now happening in this new version? No members have liked this post.

If it bothers you that much and you can live without the highlighting of keywords when searching then by all means re-install v3.7.001

If you want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, a temp admin user (with admin permissions - Can Administer Settings for editing options, Can Administer Styles for editing templates, Can Administer Users for editing User Profile Fields and finally Can Administer Plugins for editing products), and ftp access details, without these I can not help you. I will look when I have time, and even if I have a look, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fix it, especially if your site is not in English (I only read/write in English), so it is up to you what you want to do. You can revoke these after I have helped you out. If you do not want me to take a look, then there is nothing else I can do to help.

Make sure you have followed the instructions to the letter and it should work, regardless of what style you use (as long as they have a standard postbit and legacy postbit).
