Longstanding issue I just figured what causes it.

So if a user clicks a 'Recent Post' in the widget,  wpforo does not include the pagination details (eg: /linktotopic/paged/[page]/[anchor] if that post has a parentID signifying it was a reply to a prior post.

Then clicking on that post int the widget just opens the opening post of the topic. The user then needs to manually find that post in the topic, a user annoyance.

If I go into my DB and delete the post's parentID, I can click the same Recent Post widget post and it takes me to that post in the topic with correct pagination and anchor.

I have confirmed the post's parentID is valid and within the same topic.

Please consider including a fix for this in the next Wpforo release. Thank you.
