Looking to add 2 feeds to the top of the homepage for my forum: Newly Diagnosed: used Showcased Categories component with a Category filter) Most Active: need to find way of listing the topics with most replies in last 30 days) I’ve mocked it up at: https://discourse.t1ndevforum.org/ but I’d appreciate suggestions for how to list only the most active topics across all categories. Thanks! [Abstract-Active-Project-JDRF-org-Artboard]

We did a component that extends the options of the Showcased Categories component: [image] Versatile Showcase Theme component warning mechanic:t4 I did a full re-write of this component.
