Direct link from activity stream to forum post

    At the moment when someone posts in my bbpress forums the update on activity stream appears as follows:

    [Name of member] replied to the topic [Topic title] in the forum [Forum tile]
    x minutes/hours ago

    The feedback I get from members is that they find it confusing that none of the links on the update lead directly to the post in question. So if it’s a long forum thread they have to go through several pages and then scroll down to see the post on the forum.

    I know they can click the time stamp to get directly to the post but my members don’t find this intuitive and most are unaware.

    Is there way to get the activity stream updates linking directly to the forum posts?

    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    I see that if the post is long enough, there is a Read More link that goes directly to the specific comment number #.

    It would be great if either the [Topic title] link could go to the specific post or a [View comment] link be added so that users can click and be taken directly to the specific post, instead of the challenge of looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Actually, it’s already there, the timestamp is the link:

    [Name of member] replied to the topic [Topic title] in the forum [Forum tile]
    x minutes/hours ago[link to post comment]

    Just changed the CSS to make it underlined and link-colored, so people know to click on it.
