vBulletin Options -> Styles & Language Settings -> Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template: Yes.

Be sure to make any edits afterwards that relate to your postbit template, to postbit_legacy.

I changed it to Yes but it's still showing vertically (or whatever this forum shows) I want it to be the other way like phpbb...

Change the Yes to No; you'll have the Horizontal postbit.

I take it that its not the default vB style. I've seen a few custom sytles that don't have the horizontal post bit... they have the same template (postbit and postbit legecy) with the same exact code, so it won't matter if you change the type in the ACP.. you should get in contact with whoever made the style and ask them for a horizontal postbit..
