[Plugin: bbPress] Recent post boxes

Okay…so I am new to WordPress, PHP, coding and all of it 🙂

I have a small site and on it I have BBPress forums.

I am trying to use the ‘BBPress reply list widget’.

This code:

<li>

<?php
$author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 14 ) );
$reply_link  = '<a class="bbp-reply-topic-title" href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_reply_url() ) . '" title="' . bbp_get_reply_excerpt( bbp_get_reply_id(), 50 ) . '">' . bbp_get_reply_topic_title() . '</a>';

/* translators: bbpress replies widget: 1: reply author, 2: reply link, 3: reply date, 4: reply time */

printf( _x( $show_date == 'on' ? '%1$s on %2$s, %3$s, %4$s' : '%1$s on %2$s', 'widgets', 'bbpress' ), $author_link, $reply_link, get_the_date(), get_the_time() );
?>

</li>

is producing strange results on my WordPress page.

Where as it should produce a nice box with all the text contained.

[ Avi, username on topic, march 20, 2012 at 6:15pm ] <–Clickable

it is instead posting all of that in separate boxes,

[ Avi ] <–clickable
[Username ] <–clickable
on
[ topic ] <–clickable
march 20, 2012 at 6:15 pm

Well, I would like one clickable box and not three separate ones running vertically down the sidebar.

If anyone could help me with this, or educate me a little, I would greatly appreciate it.

(I hope that makes sense. I apologize, but I dont see how I can post a screen shot)
