I just want users to type the topic title only. Would this be possible?

Your mean a topic set to empty. You can do the following, but I don’t see any need of creating a topic with 0 content: Example: <div align=center> <characters> </div> It will appear to public as empty, but inside the post you have that format ^

Thank you. Well, I want to create a forum where people post short questions only. That’s why I only want people to just type their question in the title. But then other people can come and answer by replying, just like a normal forum. So, I would like to hide the content box just for when posting…

the minimum value is set 1, sadly. slightly irksome as people can’t just respond with images and often have to enter a full stop just to meet the 1 character requirement. obviously minor, but it would be nice to at least have the option to customize it to 0, or possibly having images being in a post…

I have solved it with a plugin: plugin.rb 2023-03-06 after_initialize do # 2023-03-06 "Allow posts without body": https://github.com/tr-guide/site/issues/1 require 'post_validator' PostValidator.class_eval do def raw_…

I came across a similar need using the Topic Ratings plugin, where I’d like users to be able to omit the post content entirely if a rating is submitted.
