When setting up the What's New module I can choose "Topics Only" to only get the new topics. If I don't then I get all new posts (both topics and replies). That means that if a specific topic had 10 new replies, then this single topic will fill your "What's new" list with 10 entries (or 11 if you also had the topic). Sure it's new posts, but that's really not so interesting in my point of view.
What I would really like to see is to get a list where each topic is only displayed once, similar to the way the "Active Topics" list works here on this website.
Is it possible to setup the "what's new" module this way?
