Would it be possible to have different postbits in one category than the next? Or maybe to have legacy in one category, and the other one (not legacy) in the other category?

Do a search for 'template conditionals' on our documentation page:

That helps a lot but where would be the appropriate place to put the conditional?

Template conditionals go into the template your are editing.

Didn't work. Maybe FORUMDISPLAY

Didn't work. Maybe FORUMDISPLAY
in the postbit template use something like

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 1"> postbit code here <else /> the other postbit code here </if>

Very good! However, when I try that it makes duplicates of each thread in both the postbit and postbit_legacy styles. Any ideas why?

Paste your postbit template inside of the html tags and let us see

If you mean:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 1"> <html> POSTBIT</html> <else /> <html> POSTBIT_LEGACY </html> </if>

That did the same thing. Double threads, each post printed in postbid and then postbit_legacy.

I also tried

<html><if condition="$forum[forumid] == 1"> POSTBIT<else /> POSTBIT_LEGACY </if> </html>

but that did not work either. I feel very close.
