 * Okay…so I am new to WordPress, PHP, coding and all of it 🙂
 * I have a small site and on it I have BBPress forums.
 * I am trying to use the ‘BBPress reply list widget’.
 * This code:
 *     ```
       <li>
   
       <?php
       $author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 14 ) );
       $reply_link  = '<a class="bbp-reply-topic-title" href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_reply_url() ) . '" title="' . bbp_get_reply_excerpt( bbp_get_reply_id(), 50 ) . '">' . bbp_get_reply_topic_title() . '</a>';
   
       /* translators: bbpress replies widget: 1: reply author, 2: reply link, 3: reply date, 4: reply time */
   
       printf( _x( $show_date == 'on' ? '%1$s on %2$s, %3$s, %4$s' : '%1$s on %2$s', 'widgets', 'bbpress' ), $author_link, $reply_link, get_the_date(), get_the_time() );
       ?>
   
       </li>
       ```
   
 * is producing strange results on my WordPress page.
 * Where as it should produce a nice box with all the text contained.
 * [ Avi, username on topic, march 20, 2012 at 6:15pm ] <–Clickable
 * it is instead posting all of that in separate boxes,
 * [ Avi ] <–clickable
    [Username ] <–clickable on [ topic ] <–clickable march 20,
   2012 at 6:15 pm
 * Well, I would like one clickable box and not three separate ones running vertically
   down the sidebar.
 * If anyone could help me with this, or educate me a little, I would greatly appreciate
   it.
 * (I hope that makes sense. I apologize, but I dont see how I can post a screen
   shot)

 * Edit…and actually, i dont much care if clicking on the avi or username redirects
   to the profile page. I really just want it to go to the new post in the forum
   thread.
