Displaying Topic and Comment Feeds contextually

Hello,

Years ago I asked this question but it seems that nothing has been done regarding the contextual Topic and Post Feed for the forums.

If I add a Topic feed on Forum X, I would love to display ONLY the latest topics/comments from the selected forums and subforums in the parent Forum I select.

Now, the selection is global, that is, whatever I choose to be displayed, it will be displayed on ALL FORUMS EVERYWHERE. And that doesn't make too much sense.

If i am discussing support, help, etc, in multiple forums and subforums, like it's done here at Invision, why should I see the latest topics/comments from the community insider and feedback? There should be an option to let us decide what and where to be displayed.

Why? On a site with hundreds of posts every day, it doesn't make sense to display a sidebar with the last 10 topics/comments from all the forums, the information should be more focused to display the latest feed from the subforums where the sidebar is located, that is, a contextual sidebar.

I am not sure if this can be done or not. For IPS4, there was someone who created an APP that did precisely this and worked like a charm.

Thanks
