These are God-awful annoying and I’d like to remove them on my own site :frowning: [rrrrr]

It sounds like the recommendation is to set min body similar length to a very high number. Edit: This setting doesn’t exist any more–see Lilly’s solution. [image] Can I disable the "topic similar to" pop-up entirely? Support This works for me [image]

Hi @45thj5ej :wave: welcome to Discourse Meta :slight_smile: I believe the setting you want is max similar results: [IMG_1440]

[image] Can I disable the "topic similar to" pop-up entirely? Support The min body similar length Site Setting doesn’t exist any more. There is a max similar results setting that can be used to accomplish the same thing. To prevent the ‘topic similar to’ popup from showing, set max similar results to 0.

Ahh, I was wondering since that post was pretty old! Thanks.

I must be blind. Where can I find that setting? Sorry, new to all this and have been staring at my screen for a good 15hrs today

it is in admin-settings. Go to all site settings and type “max similar” in the settings filter field: [IMG_1443]

No, as the setting’s name suggests, it only applies to the pop ups for similar topic results.

Ah, darn. So, there’s no way to disable those? Another related question…is it possible to by default, make the new topic box smaller without having to click it? [qqqqqqqq]

You could probably just do it with css.

Is there a way to remove the pop-ups when making a new topic?

Will this also get rid of the other messages like these?
