This product will allow those with the ability to issue warnings/infractions to see a user's user notes and infraction history on the infraction form for easy reference. A new data block is displayed below the "User Infraction" block containg the user's relevant history.
On the forum I help administrate, we have devised a system where if a user breaks a forum rule for the first time, we simply send a friendly PM advisory of the rule rather than going to the infraction system. Many users, especially new users, are taken aback to receive a formal warning or infraction for breaking a rule they likely didn't realize is in place. Let's face it, the vast majority of users just don't read the rules.
So, when we see that a user has broken a rule, we need to check to see if a PM advisory has previously been sent, and we record this information in the usernotes. Then if we find that an advisory has been sent, we have to check that user's infraction history to see if they have been formally warned or given an infraction so that we know the most appropriate action to take for this new violation.
With this product, you can simply click the "Add Infraction" button on the postbit, and have all the needed history available on the generated form so that you can decide what action is most appropriate. If you find that no relevant usernote data exists, there is a button below the data block element that will take you to that user's usernote page.
I wish to extend a special thanks to BrettC Frontier for many great suggestions and error reporting that has really helped make this add-on much better.

Without a link to your site, I can't be of much help. Legacy format means down the left side not across the top, which is what I use on my dev and live sites as well.
1.) Are you in a usergroup you have defined as being able to view the history information in postbits and is the user whose post you are viewing in a usergroup who has been defined to show the history in the postbit?
2.) In the postbit template you are using, see if the hook labeled "postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts" exists.

It appears you are now using a legacy postbit style...since you say the hook is not present in your postbit template (I assume it has been removed), try going to your "postbit_legacy" template, and locate the code:
