loop-single-reply.php calls bbp_reply_author_link() for topics, too

[wpdennis]

A topic detail page loops through each post with ​loop-single-reply.php.

Without lead topics enabled, this template file is used for replies and topics.

If you filter something like bbp_get_reply_author_display_name the following will return false within the filter:

bbp_is_reply($reply_id)

for the first post in a topic (the topic itself). To be consistent, maybe the loop should distinguish between post type "reply" and post type "topic" to call the appropriate function.

Good idea. There's likely a few places this happens.

Bumping to 2.8, as there's a fair amount of plumbing that needs to be updated before joining topics & replies into 1 set of functions could be achieved.

To that end, is that something we'd even want to do? There's something nice about being able to easily selectively filter topics VS replies, IMO.
