Blatchy - Top Posters

Blatchy Top Posters
A modern, performance-friendly top posters widget for your XenForo 2.3 sidebar. Switch between weekly, monthly, and all-time leaders with a single click — visualized with proportional bars so members can see exactly who's dominating the conversation.

Features

• Three timeframes — Week, Month, and All time, switchable via tabs
• Bar visualization — each user's bar scales relative to the leader, making rankings instantly visible
• Leader highlight — top poster's bar uses your style's accent color; others stay subtle
• Configurable count — show anywhere from 3 to 50 users per timeframe
• Selectable tabs — display only the timeframes you want; pick your default
• Permission-aware — automatically excludes banned, invisible, and unconfirmed users
• Daily cron rebuild — counts are refreshed once a day at midnight, not on every pageview
• Zero per-pageview overhead — widget reads from a tiny pre-computed cache table; no expensive aggregations on every request
• Theme-friendly — uses your style's text and accent colors automatically; no custom palette to maintain
