Change the postbit style and force it on users

Goto ACP > Configuration > Showthread Options > Postbit Layout and choose the desired postbit style. This will set the default but to change existing users you will need to run a SQL query via phpadmin.

For classic postbit:

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

For horizontal postbit:

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

(replace mybb_users with the table prefix if you changed itand you should have)

To remove the option for members to change it from UserCP: Goto ACP >Templates & Style >Templates >your current theme > User Control Panel Templates > usercp_options
and search for the following code:

Code:
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="classicpostbit" id="classicpostbit" value="1" {$classicpostbitcheck} /></td>
 <td><span class="smalltext"><label for="classicpostbit">{$lang->show_classic_postbit}</label></span></td>
 </tr>

If you want to force the classic postbit, replace it with this:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="classicpostbit" id="classicpostbit" value="1" />

If you want to force the horizontal postbit, replace it with this:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="classicpostbit" id="classicpostbit" value="0" />
