    there is alot of RSS/news ticker plugins that could do this vertical scrolling thing.

    i suggest doing a google search and seeing what might be the best

    to most likely make it work with bbPress you will need to use the bbPress RSS feeds.

    you can change how many topics to show in the RSS page in settings>forums

    for listing all the most recent topics use something like this for example

    https://bbpress.org/feed/?post_type=topic/

    so on your site it would be

    example.com/feed/?post_type=topic/

    http://www.themxl.com/feed/?post_type=topic

    When I open in browser looks fine however..

    When ever I try to add this to a widget it gives me errors “There is a problem fetching the RSS!”

    when i checked your feed on http://www.themxl.com/feed/?post_type=topic in Chrome it had this

    This page contains the following errors:

    error on line 262 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    so there is an issue with your feed.

    you can deactivate your plugins one by one and try to find the issue , and also switch to a default theme like twentytwelve to see if it still shows the issue.

    i would check to make sure the error is in Chrome on your side.

    when i tried Firefox it showed up fine for some reason.

    I am trying

    http://example.com/feed/?post_type=topic/

    but feeders does not see the trailing ?post_type=topic/ and just serves the posts from loop that already has a working RSS feed.

    why wouldn’t the feed be

    dopmain.com/topics/feed

    dopmain.com/topics/feed

    That works too
