Getting rid of ?replies=#

   On the end of URLs in my forums it always attaches a ?replies=# to the topic link (or redirects you if you open a topic without that in the url) where # is the number of replies to the topic. It's really ugly and I want to get rid of it; no other forums apart from this one that I've seen have it! I'm using slug permalinks but I believe it was there before that. I've got the rules from bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php in my .htaccess because Multiviews didn't seem to work for me. Anyone know how to get rid of that?

   Make a new file in your my-plugins/ directory with the following code in it. Then activate the plugin in your bbPress' admin panels.

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: No ?replies
   Description: Get rid of the ?replies=# ugliness in topic links
   Plugin URI: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-rid-of-replies
   Author: fel64
   Version: 1.0
   */ 
   
   remove_filter( 'get_topic_link', 'bb_add_replies_to_topic_link' );
   
   ?>

   Thank you very much. I didn't realise it would be as simple as removing a filter, that's cool :)

   Thanks for this.

   Do you know anything about the 'under_title' hook or where it might be documented?

   under_title looks like a pretty lame hook; I doubt you can trust it's existence in every theme and it may get removed entirely in some later version of bbPress.

   If you need to add content to a topic page there, I'd just edit your custom theme.

   Aha, glad I spent an extra couple of minutes searching, as I was about to ask this same question. bbpress looks great btw, I really like the slimline approach. :)
