Ok, so it took me a while to figure out but I finally got it.
Open up the template Threadbit
Find
Code:
<li>{vb:rawphrase views}: {vb:raw thread.views}</li>
Delete it
Now this part is user preference, in the same area as what you just deleted look for the following
Code:
<li>{vb:rawphrase replies}: <a href="misc.php?do=whoposted&t={vb:raw thread.threadid}" onclick="who({vb:raw thread.threadid}); return false;" class="understate">{vb:raw thread.replycount}</a></li>
If you would like the "Replies: xxx" to sit at the top of the column then put a
<br /> right after the quoted text, but if you would like them to sit on the bottom, then put a
<br /> before the quoted text.
But a <br /> is required so the look/design is not messed up.
And the reason this was not working is, because if your Style is a child of a parent style, you will need to do this to the styles parents as well
Enjoy!

Here is what the threadbit will look like after the proper changes, and this example is with the <br /> before the quoted text
