Transform the way your XenForo posts look
[XR] Compact Postbit is designed for communities that want a cleaner, more modern and more professional post layout without sacrificing the familiar XenForo experience.
Instead of showing a large traditional postbit that takes too much vertical space, this add-on gives your forum a compact horizontal identity area with avatar, username, banners, post date, share icons and post tools arranged in a cleaner and more readable way.
It is lightweight, responsive, easy to configure, and built specifically for XenForo 2.3.

Why your forum needs this add-on
Cleaner post layout
Give your forum a modern post design that feels more polished, easier to read and more professional.

Better reading experience
Your members can focus on the post content without being distracted by large user info blocks.
Built-in social share bar
Add a beautiful vertical social share bar on desktop to encourage visitors to share your content.
Auto-hide social bar on mobile
The social share bar is automatically hidden on mobile devices, keeping the mobile reading experience clean and comfortable.
Modern responsive behavior
Looks clean on desktop, tablet and mobile without breaking XenForo’s core quick edit, actions, dates or post tools.
Perfect for resource sites, communities and content forums
If your forum publishes tutorials, articles, guides, downloads, resources or discussions, this add-on helps your content look more premium.
