XenStaff
A free, premium staff showcase add-on for XenForo 2.3.Most "staff list" add-ons feel like an org chart. XenStaff is a stage. A premium navy-and-gold Hall of Honor page that puts your moderators, admins and team members in the spotlight they deserve — and lets members say thank you with a single click.
A dedicated /staff page with a design that feels like an award show, not a directory.
- Deep navy hero with golden rays, glowing accents, and an animated eyebrow chip
- Editorial-style group rules that organize staff by usergroup priority
- Native XenForo user banners integrated directly on each card
- Years-of-service medal auto-pinned on the avatar — calculated from join date
- Custom accent color per staff member to express personality
- Light and dark mode fully supported via native XenForo CSS variables
Each member of your team gets a profile card that goes beyond a name and an avatar.
- Personal quote (up to 280 characters) — staff write their own message: why they love your community, their motto, their playful introduction

- View profile and Send message buttons for one-click interaction
