 * This is related to my earlier post, “”, but I thought it would be better with
   a separate topic.
 * Can you create a widget that shows X number of unread posts? It can range from“
   You have no unread posts” (or customizable text) to a listing of X number of 
   posts that have not been read. This would be different than recent activity, 
   since I may have read the most recent topics and don’t need to know about those
   any more.
 * It would also be nice if if had a link in the widget that marked all unread topics
   as read.
 * I not finding existing widgets that do this, but I see some that try. Am I correct
   that you are the likely provider of such functionality if I want it to respect
   the private groups? I don’t want people to see unread or recent posts they do
   not have access to.

 * I believe that there is an existing plugin
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/)
 * I am pretty sure this displays next to posts, so any additional filtering by 
   me would not be required.
 * Perhaps you would like to try it and see if it works, and come back and let me
   know.
