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...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
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 :)
@Refael Laufer just like @Allie suggested; I second the idea to improve mobile view by including thumbnail images. It will be super great to show a sneak peak of image or video thumbnail on the recent posts feed to our forum visitors on mobile phones.
@Chen Rosenthal & @Rafi Laufer am live on air right now and was abruptly logged out! when logged back in all the picture settings are in French!!!! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
CROSSFIRERADIO.NET
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
I too am having issues - It was working fine for a long time, then stopped viewing! Although you can see the Layer and move it around on the page, even get into settings, etc. Just will not view! Also, it disappeared LIVE from Edge and FireFox Browsers, but will View Live with Google Chrome! It also seems to work OK Mobile devices, except those with FireFox.
Also disappeared in the Editor in all versions and occasionally generates a java error! I have removed the add-in and reinstalled to no avail...
I put in a ticket, 998065250
But if anyone has any ideas??? 😀
Hi Alyssa, the site is restricted to members. Did you want to join us on our rides? Kind regards
I'd like to have the option to jump to the latest comments when klicking a post on the recent post widget (set this option for the users). Now its very time robbing (especially mobile) to klick the recent post ... wait ... scroll down - load more comments ... wait ... scroll down - load more comments ... wait ... finally read.
I choosed to put the recent post widget under my forum because the option to show recent posts in the forum only shows new posts, but not posts with new comments. But i think highlighting posts with new comments would make the forum more clear when using categories.
I'd like to be able individual toggle likes, views, etc. Does it need to be an all or nothing toggle as current? I also need more content to preview to attract readers. If I toggle likes, views, etc off, it would be nice if I gained that real estate for expanded text from body of post?
