But if you want to increase the distance between the username and the status icon you can just add   (a blank space) right before {vb:raw post.onlinestatus} in the template. Like this:  {vb:raw post.onlinestatus}.
Another way would be to wrap span tags <span>{vb:raw post.onlinestatus}</span> and apply style="padding-left: Xpx;" (or give the span a class and use additional.css). Your choice.

Not on profiles, the postbit user information area in posts.
Have you tried the suggestion I gave above? It applies to the postbit template.
Actually, now that I think about it, it's hardly noticeable. I only noticed it because I was really looking at it at the time because I thought I noticed something else. =/
However, I do have another question for future reference: in the event that I ever want to do this, is it possible to turn the status circle into text in both the postbit and profiles?
Currently, the status circle works like this:
Green = User is online
White = User is offline
Yellow-Orange = User is invisible
- Only for staff. White for non-staff.
If what I'm asking is possible, I would probably have it be like this, but instead of to the right of the username, have it be below:
You would edit the postbit_onlinestatus template. And instead of serving images, you would replace them with colored text like <span style="color:red">Offline</span>, <span style="color:green">Online</span>, etc
