I recently set up Discourse and although the other users are enjoying it, I’m getting a lot of complaints about the “Your topic is similar to…” popup. I understand that you can just hit “x” to close, but can it be disabled entirely for now? Perhaps it will work better as there are more topics, etc, but for now it is completely irrelevant and a point of frustration for the other users. I’d like to disable it for now and try later when folks have settled in. Thanks in advance for your help!
