i installed 1.4.1 and when a user posts their avatar, group, rep ect is above their posts! i was wondering how do i get it to go to the left side of posts like @ http://www.endlessparadigm.com/forum and http://movieboxforum.kruzzen.com/index.php ?
i know they are using 1.2.x but i was wondering how do i get 1.4.1 to look like this as it looks much better imo?
thanks for any help

I think this is what you're looking for: go to the Admin CP -> Configuration -> Show Thread Options -> select 'display posts using the classic layout'

It can also be changed in the User CP(by the user).

User CP > Your Profile > Edit Options > Display posts in classic mode (under thread view options) .

ok it works when i change it as a user but not when i change it in the board settings as admin...
any suggestions?

The option you select in the Admin CP only applies to guests viewing your boards, and doesn't overrule the option users select.

oh now i get it so new users will have the view i selected as default from now on!

I don't think so you would need the default profile mod to do that.

ok ill do that!
but i gotta ask whats the point in being able to set it as admin if it doesnt make it default on the board??

You can edit the mybb_users table and change the default value for the classicpostbit column to "1". I guess not being able to inherit the board's default wasn't really considered...

As above posters have said, the ACP setting controls the setting for guests (and new registrations once the next bug fix version is released). The ACP setting is not designed to override the UCP option.
