I did tell you how. Just throw a span tag around it!
In your postbits template, just change :
PHP Code:
<a href="$post[editlink]" name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
to
PHP Code:
<span style="float: left">
<a href="$post[editlink]" name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a></span>
To move it to the left.
To put it somewhere else entirely just move that link to wherever you want it in postbits.
