I have the show thread display modes set to classic, and for some reason it still shows at the top for administrators, but for guests and other users it displays to the left.
Help!

It's nothing to do with being an administrator, that setting doesn't affect current users, only guests and new users. You need this to force the setting: http://community.mybb.com/thread-40093.h...ht=postbit

still dont work even though i forced it like it says in that thread

Then you'll be doing something wrong, it definitely works.

Users use what setting shows in their User CP options, which is stored in the database, the queries in that thread change the values in the database for all current users, thus changing what postbit users see. You only need one of the queries, not both.

Well i did exactly what it said in the thread to force it and it didn't, so what's going wrong?

You just need to run this:

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `classicpostbit` = '1' WHERE `classicpostbit` = '0';

It can't exactly not work, it's a very basic query.

If it still doesn't work, PM me phpMyAdmin login details and I'll run it for you.

o.o it's worked now for some reason lmao
thanks +rep

Despite constant posting of this question this was never added as a feature (to force postbit style) and requires a ridiculous amount of workarounds. Why wasn't this added?
