Pin important XenForo conversations so they stay easy to find in your inbox.
Sticky Conversations gives permitted users a dedicated pinned section, quick pinning controls, manual ordering, and optional temporary pins that expire automatically.

Quick Pin and Unpin Controls: Change a conversation's pinned state from the conversation page or directly from the conversation list.
Conversation Popup Support: Optionally show pinned conversations separately in the XenForo conversations popup.- ↕ Drag-and-Drop Ordering: Let permitted users arrange their pinned conversations in a custom order shared by the inbox and popup, or reset the order by recent activity.
- ⏱ Automatic Unpinning: Use date presets, choose an exact date or a number of days, or unpin after reading, replying, another participant's reply, or a period without activity.
- 🗂 Collapsible Pinned Section: Allow users to collapse the pinned conversation block and remember its state on the current device.
Configurable Pin Limits: Set a global maximum and override the limit for individual user groups, with a visible counter showing pin usage.- ☑ Inline Moderation Actions: Pin or unpin multiple selected conversations with XenForo's inline moderation controls.
