I think that's the same. Here's mine:

<p><b>Can I change the order of threads?</b></p>

<p>You have a choice over how you view threads. When you're in a thread, look at the top bar. On the right hand side you'll see 'Display Mode'. Click on this and it lets you change how posts are ordered.</p>

<p>You have three choices:</p>

<p><b>Linear Mode</b> - posts are displayed chronologically, usually from oldest to newest. Posts are shown in a flat mode so that many posts can be viewed simultaneously. It is possible to change the ordering by changing your preferences in the <a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">User CP</a></p>

<p><b>Threaded Mode</b> - a tree is shown along with every post. This shows you the relationship each post has to the others. It's easy to see who responded to whom. Only one post is shown at a time. By clicking on a single post in the post tree, the page will show that post and all posts made in response to it.</p>

<p><b>Hybrid Mode</b> - This is a mixture of the linear and threaded modes. The post tree is displayed as in the threaded mode, but many posts are shown at the same time as in the linear modes.</p>

Instead of changing the phrase (and here's the default for you):

Here you can choose the display mode for threads. For a full explanation of the modes, please view <a href="{1}">this help page</a>.

Go see what it says in the template modifyoptions in the are where that help link is called. It should say this (search for "choose_thread_display_mode" in the template):

                    <tr>
                        <td><phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]faq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_thread_display">$vbphrase[choose_thread_display_mode]</phrase></td>
                    </tr>
