For some reason the postbit shows up as different sizes all the time, can I make it one size and fix it that way?

Yep and sure,
You need to edit the postbit_classic template of your theme.
To navigate : go to your theme templates >postbit templates > postbit_ classic template
Find this code in 4th line

<td class="{$altbg}" width="15%" valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center;"><a name="pid{$post['pid']}" id="pid{$post['pid']}"></a>

replace with this code :

<td class="{$altbg}" width="200px" valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center;"><a name="pid{$post['pid']}" id="pid{$post['pid']}"></a>

This should fix the problem ,
regards,

Still showing up strange:

LU Flux,

How are you getting the postbit to display in a left hand column next to the post/reply? Is this a plugin or a function of a different theme?

I can't locate anything in the admin section to achieve this. Anyone?

Thanks!

I've selected the "Display posts using the classic layout" option under
Configuration » Board Settings » Show Thread Options
But that doesn't change anything for me.

You'll have to change your preference in the User CP as well.

Kodaks, Thank you for that great info... I guess it gives users the option to view the board the way they want, but I still think the admin should have some ability to override those settings. Guess I'll work with that. Thanks again for the fix!

You are able to remove that option from the user's view in the User's CP with a simple template change. You can simply make the field hidden and default the view you prefer.

You could also write a plugin that would achieve the same result, plus I'm sure you can set it to change all users over to a specific view (like a force on users feature).

xThreads lets you force classic layout for every forum if you don't want to deal with template changes.

For this, the problem is that 200px is not wide enough to fit your usernames. Try increase to 250px.
