Hello, I am new to Discouse and I am currently seting up my forum. For most questions I can rely on older posts in this forum, so this is great. But for this one I did not find a solution and I find my problem quite puzzling. In my test posting section there are two buttons for “reply” and for “tracking” posts. These seem to have the same purpose. So why are they double? I would like to disable either ones, is that possible? If I could choose, the buttons on the right side of the page have to go. Here is a picture. Thank you for your valuable help and have a good day! [image]

The buttons at the timeline allow you to change the notification level and reply to the topic while reading a topic. When you are at the bottom, those disappear:

Hello @Moin, thank you for your super quick response! The buttons do not disappear at my forum. Maybe this has to do with the fact that I disabled the “related topics” feature that would follow at the bottom?

Just added the “suggested topics” feature again for testing purposes. The two buttons at the slider disappear. They don’t disappear when I set “suggested topics” to zero. Seems to be a bug.

I think I can see what you’re saying. When you are already scrolled to the bottom of the page on the initial load of the topic, the notification bell / reply icons are displayed. Those disappear if you scroll up / back down. Is that what you’re seeing? This doesn’t appear to be related to Suggested Topics though. I can reproduce with suggested topics set to “0” or “5”, and on posts with or without Suggested displayed.

Hi @lindsey, this is what happens at my forum. The buttons do not disappear when suggested topics is 0.

Can you confirm that’s the bottom of the page (and not just the bottom of the last post in the topic)? Do you have a Related Topics section further down?

That is definitely the bottom of the page and there is no related topics section further down, because i deactivated it by setting “suggested topics” to 0.

Got it. Just to note, Related Topics and Suggested Topics are different so disabling one does not necessarily mean you’ve disabled the other, which is why I asked! I’m going to move this to #support since this is not a consistent issue. What theme are you using?

Ok thanks I did not know the difference. I am using the starting default theme.
