A good forum software like XenForo must provide lots of features to the users. But have You ever given a thought to how many of your forum visitors that are using all these functions? Probably very few... The users that are actually even aware that they can sort the discussion listings in various ways are rare.

This add-on aims to remove or hide features that are seldom used in favor for a simpler user interface, allowing your website visitors to focus on the content by unbloating the graphical user interface.

This add-on will affect the appearance of all thread listings. (Including new-posts, unread posts, watched threads etc). It will also add blocks in the thread listings telling search engines that certain phrases should not be indexed (Words like: "Replies", "Threads", "Views" etc) .

Thread listings:
  • The pink sectionheader can be removed.
  • Some columns can be removed while some of the information is moved into remaining columns.
  • <!--googleoff: index--> and <!--googleon: index--> tags are used to inform search engines that some phrases are not relevant for your site nor important to index.
  • An additional CSS file, fgx_cstl.css is being used.
  • Profile pictures optionally gets circle shaped. This can be turned off in the options if desired.

Pretty nice Farang. Kawp Khun Krap. I have it installed with the discuss preview. You're right, people are lazy now because of facbook.
Haven't got the paid add on but I will I think. This add on can make either subtle changes or completely change it. simply awesome.

Makes my site look loads better and members seem to be loving it
Great, easy-to-apply formatting options. I'm surprised that with all the people on the XF2 thread bemoaning a lack of Facebook/social media options, more of them aren't grabbing this and farang's Discussion Preview addon. Between the two of them you can at least get a lot of the LOOK of a social media site going on. The latest 2.4.0 update of this addon has allowed me to have the best of both worlds, more compact thread listings with all the necessary relevant info (thread starter and last replier), as well as an easier to read format.
