Allow users to reply to posts directly in the activity stream without having to leave it to go to the thread.

You could basically have every new post seen and replied to on a single page, brilliant for activity.

Very true.. If you're gonna do it, do it all the way.!! (Basically a Facebook "wall")

Would like to be able to have specific forums not display in activity stream. That would be a great feature.

New plugin at hook threaddata_presave:

if ($this->info['forum']['forumid'] == '4'){
$this->set_info('skip_activitystream', true);
}

New plugin at hook postdata_presave

if ($this->info['forum']['forumid'] == '4'){
$this->set_info('skip_activitystream', true);
}

Thanks for sharing @sub-ui

If you have set your forum permissions correctly, the forum thread should not be readable in the activity stream. I retested this in vb4.2.0, vb4.2.1, vb4.2.2
