So, another new feature from Forum team -
From now on you can add recent forum post feed to your site!
What can you do with it?
Select to show all the forum posts or just from a specific category
Select how many posts to show (1-30)
Select how to order the posts - by date, last activity, most likes, most comments, most views
Choose how to display it (horizontal or vertical - play with that!)
Choose if to show stats on posts or not
How do you add it?
Go to the Editor
Go to your Forum page
Open the Forum app settings
Click on the 'Add-Ons' tab
Select to which page you want to add the 'Recent Posts Feed'
Enjoy, and share with us your forums with recent posts :)
Finally! I'm so happy!
It would be nice if you could costumize it a little bit more. I think it looks too much like the recent blog posts :)

Hi Monica,
This is interesting suggestion, we will see what we can do with that :)
Indeed! :)
The design ATM is taking a lot of space. I still like it tho!
Thanks for the new feature, just what I was after.
I would be happier with a switch to choose the option to display or not to display the number of views, likes etc as these will be displayed on the forum.
I would like to show 6 items i.e. two rows of three.
Current feature:
Option to not to display the likes, comments and views.
Hi Steve,
You can toggle off the stats and not show them.
Here's how:
Open the settings of the recent posts
Go to 'Layout'
Toggle off the 'Show social stats' toggle
You can also select to show 6 posts and then you'll have them in 2 rows.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks Rafi,
very interesting feature. It might be interesting to be able to present it as Blog posts, with scrolling for example.
Thanks Rafi...exactly what I am after. I now understand what social stats means. :-)
Happy to help Steve :)
Robert - you mean so when you'll be able to have slideshow layout with auto scroll?
Just what we've been waiting for. Is it possible to show the Category Name as well on the individual thumbnails
Yes Rafi, as it is possible to do for blog posts
You guys are amazing! :)
This is great! Thank you!
I love this so much!!! With this, a community events hub, and the blog feed on the front page - my community actually LOOKS like a community website! <3
It would be very convenient if you guys allowed us to adjust the spacing in the future!
Hi! I love this new feature. It's very useful and it looks professional on laptops/desktops. Are there any future plans to improve the mobile view by including thumbnail images, too?
I'm happy that you liked this new feature and we consider all of your requests :)

Only the picture settings are, all others are still in English!
It's even French in here if you click on the image!! TURN BACK THE DEFAULT TO ENGLISH FFS!!! YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE WITH CREDIBILITY!
Oh and auto refresh has stopped too (ie new posts are not appearing automatically). You're putting me in an impossible situation when you do things like this. PLEASE FIX IMMEDIATELY, WE HAVE A BIG 300TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW TONIGHT AND NEED THE FORUM TO BE WORKING!!!
Hello! I'm having trouble getting this to work. Once I choose the page I want it to appear on, nothing happens
Hi Alyssa, the site is restricted to members. Did you want to join us on our rides? Kind regards
