Allow automatic 'JIT' education and warning messages to show up on mobile

I wasn’t sure what sorts of keywords to search for and what I already tried produced no results, so apologies if this has already been asked and answered: do the various notices and warnings (e.g. Your topic is similar to, Revive old topic?, This link has already been posted, etc) not show up on mobile devices?

I noticed a user continually reviving dead threads despite our Revive this topic? notice configured for threads older than 30 days. I wondered if they might be using on Discourse on a mobile device, so I tried replying to an old topic as a test and sure enough, no warning/notice pop-up (this was an Android phone). So if the Revive this topic? warning doesn’t work on mobile devices, does that mean all the other notices/warnings also fail to appear when warranted? Or do I need to change something in admin settings?

I’ve slipped this over to a feature request. :+1: I think it would be good to have a similar ‘Just in Time’ warning for mobile users to benefit from, though I must admit I’m unsure of the logistics. :slight_smile:

In narrow windows warnings for not reachable mentions are not shown, neither in rich editor nor the markdown editor.

For wide views, warnings are shown overlaid to the editor window in rich mode.
The same mechanism could be used to show them if the window is narrowed.
