[XF 2.3] Modern Inline Moderation Bar – Floating Pill + Action Grid 2026-10-05

Features

• Floating, rounded moderation bar centered at the bottom of the screen
• The action dropdown is replaced by an Actions button that opens a grid of colored icon tiles
• Each action gets its own icon and color (delete, approve, stick, lock, move, feature, prefix, thread type…)
• Actions are read from XenForo's own list, so nothing is lost and everything is shown in your forum's language
• Works with threads, posts, conversations and anywhere the inline moderation bar appears
• Light and dark style variations supported
• Fully responsive: desktop, tablets and phones
• RTL and LTR compatible
• Closes on outside click, Esc key, or after choosing an action
• No add-on, no PHP, no template modifications. Just one CSS file and one small script

Requirements
XenForo 2.3.x
