I know that some of the older vBulletin versions had mods where you could allow users to choose which postbit they wanted to use. It was something that I really enjoyed. I've tried searching around a bit and I cannot find similar for vBulletin 4.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Still looking for this if anyone has any ideas.

Go into AdminCp> Settings> Options> Style & Language Settings> and find
Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template and you can change the postbit template by turning it on and off.

I know that it can be set by the administrator for the entire board. What I want is to give each individual member the option to choose which postbit they want to use.

Oh I would love to find this too!!

I have some boards where half of those that know what postbit is prefer that... the others want legacy... Impossible to please them both.

The only way I've found to do it so far (which you may be interested in) is by creating sub-styles. On a forum where you don't have a lot of styles already, it does work, it's just a bit cluttery and not ideal.

What you'd do in that case is create a child style, and just edit the "Postbit" template to contain whatever information is in "Postbit_Legacy". Like I said, it's not ideal, but if I don't find an actual hack for this, that'll probably be what I do.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
