MyBB Community Forums

As you can guys know and see that in the default theme of mybb the postbit_author_user shows up like this.





But what if I want to show it like this.







As it is in the 'Square' theme. Everything, the post count, reputation is shown in the left side in a separate column. Is this even doable? If yes then how?

This is user option: "display posts in classic mode" in your user cp

as Crazycat said, basically it is a user set option

forum admin panel has relevant option at below location

forum admin panel >> configuration [settings] >> show thread options
>> Post Layout --> Display posts using the classic layout

to make it as default setting for all the users, above setting can be
used along with force postbit style plugin [changing plugin compatibility]

Okay, so I can set it to classic layout and if they want to change it then they can do via their user CP, right?

And also changing it to the classic layout through ACP, will make the classic layout appear for the guests, right?

^ yes to both of above.

if you want all users to stay on classic postbit (profile at left side)
then basically there are 2 methods. a plugin is suggested in above reply.

there is a manual method => force postbit layout
above method was provided for a old version of MyBB.
however logic is same / similar for recent versions of MyBB

You have a setting to set this as default in "Home » Board Settings » Show Thread Options".
This is the first option.

Note that you'll have to force that for already registered users, using an sql query: update mybb_users set classicpostbit=1

Okay, so if I use the manual method then I have to run the mysql query, otherwise if I have use the plugin then mysql action is not needed?!

^ yes (for both).

So, basically there is no way to change the already registered users without running a mysql query?!

^ have you tried the plugin ? it should be taking care of already registered users.
