Multiple recent replies

    How can I make it so if one post has the 5 most recent replies it doesn’t show that post 5x in my recent replies wordpress widget? I only want it to show once as it looks kinda dumb having the same topic posted 5x..

    I did that already… But still think it looks silly I have one thread that usually gets hourly replies and it’s usually on recent replies 3-5 times

    I simply don’t want to show a topic 5x in recent replies regardless if those 5 replies are the newest.. There has to be a workaround for this

    revert what you did and show the author, so it would look like this

    [:)] user 1 on topic 1
    [:(] user 1 on topic 2
    [:'(] user 2 on topic 1
    [:{)] user 3 on topic 1

    because its less weird than this

    topic 1
    topic 2
    topic 1
    topic 1

    or at least click show date in the widget settings

    i know you dont want to show 5 recent replies topics that are the same

    other ways are for your users to create more topics and make them more active so the recent replies widget shows recent replies for more than 1 topic , and it doesnt look weird

    but other than that if i gave you a function to not show the actual recent replies

    if you have these topics that had recent replies

    topic 1
    topic 1
    topic 3
    topic 5
    topic 7
    topic 1

    and i wanted to only show

    topic 1
    topic 3
    topic 5
    topic 7

    i just skipped them and they arent really recent replies across your site anymore
    its just now the bbpress recent topics widget with the topics with recent replies settings on

    I do show the date currently.. But still I would want only the most recent to show ONCE.

    So there is no way around this with JavaScript or anything? Cause I had a forum on forumotion before and this was never a problem.
