Thanks. I have replied to one of your inline comments below.
About grouping: I agree that this can be confusing. Currently the list is always sorted by the posts dates, so grouping lead into this situation were some topics appear double. Say we have:
post1 created 12.3.2019 in topic foo
post2 created 11.3.2019 in topic bar
post3 created 10.3.2019 in topic baz
post4 created 1.1.2019 in topic foo
Will lead to:
topic foo:
post1 (12.3.2019)
topic bar:
post2 (11.3.1019)
topic baz:
post3 (10.3.2019)
topic foo:
post4 (1.1.2019)
If we change this to something like:
topic foo:
post1 (12.3.2019)
post4 (1.1.2019)
topic bar:
post2 (11.3.1019)
topic baz:
post3 (10.3.2019)
The posts are not sorted by date anymore: A post created yesterday may appear at the bottom of the page then, after several other old posts.
I am unsure about a good grouping. Maybe this should be tested in production to have real time data? Or adding a third option 'no grouping' which shows the posts by date descending and change the grouping by topic/forum to have no double entries?
