How do I change to classic posts where the member's info is shown on the left side of the post they made?

User CP > Edit Options > Check Display posts in classic mode in Thread View Options.

If it's enabling it for everyone, let someone else answer that one.

User CP > Edit Options > Thread View Options > Display posts in classic mode

Thanks. Is there a way for everyone to see it in classic mode?

If you want to force it globally, you can read this thread:

If you want to force it per forum basis, you need a plugin for that.

In phpMyAdmin (or another database manager), execute the following:

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

You'll need to take into account of the table prefix. Change mybb_ to the table prefix which you're using.

I have a VERY EASY way to make it so everyone sees the classic way.

Do you want to know how?

Sure, what's the idea?

Copy the postbit_classic template and replace it with the current postbit template.

Or just run the query above... o.O Because your method will not work 100%, another template is displayed when using the classic postbit so it won't look right if you do what you suggest.
