In newpost.php and newreply.php - each will have a section like this:

Code
         $markupselect .= "&lt;option value=\"markup\" [:"red"]selected=\"selected\"[/]&gt;{$ubbt_lang['USE_MARKUP']}&lt;/option&gt;";
      }
      if ( ($HTML == "On") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") ){
         $markupselect .= "&lt;option value=\"html\"&gt;{$ubbt_lang['USE_HTML']}&lt;/option&gt;";
      }
      if ( ( ($HTML == "On") &amp;&amp; ($Markup == "On") ) || ( ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") ) ) {
         $markupselect .= "&lt;option value=\"both\"&gt;{$ubbt_lang['USE_BOTH']}&lt;/option&gt;";

Move the "selected" bit to the "both" option like this:
Code
         $markupselect .= "&lt;option value=\"markup\" &gt;{$ubbt_lang['USE_MARKUP']}&lt;/option&gt;";
      }
      if ( ($HTML == "On") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") ){
         $markupselect .= "&lt;option value=\"html\"&gt;{$ubbt_lang['USE_HTML']}&lt;/option&gt;";
      }
      if ( ( ($HTML == "On") &amp;&amp; ($Markup == "On") ) || ( ($user['U_Status'] == "Administrator") || ($user['U_Status'] == "Moderator") ) ) {
         $markupselect .= "&lt;option value=\"both\" [:"red"]selected=\"selected\"[/] &gt;{$ubbt_lang['USE_BOTH']}&lt;/option&gt;";
