Activity Thread (BuddyPress)

One activity post, with its replies nested up to five deep.

This is a background feature. Members reach it by tapping a post’s replies.

The post in full, its favourites, and its replies. Members can favourite, reply, and reply to replies down to five levels.

Below five, further replies attach at the fifth level rather than nesting deeper — the same rule BuddyPress applies on the web, and the reason a phone-width thread stays readable.

Activity Thread is the Ultimate Member wall’s thread screen. This is BuddyPress’s.

They serve different feeds, and each needs its own background feature. If you placed Activity, you need this one — placing the Ultimate Member thread instead will not make BuddyPress replies open.
