I have a forum set up and one of my test accounts got a message which I attached as a screenshot. How do I edit the text for it and others like it? If I go to Admin \> Customize \> Text content then I can find it with a search and edit it. My concern is now over all other messages that might get sent which I don’t know about. How can I find those? thanks!

Just search for the ones you wish to find by text. There is no master list of “all the things”.

I hadn’t seen this old topic until it was automatically bumped today. But I asked essentially the same question recently and got a helpful answer:

> [@List of customisable strings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/list-of-customisable-strings/231866):

> I’d like to check what messages the system sends to users, and maybe customise them. Anything I type in as a search term in Customise–Text (eg “flag” or “system\_mesages”) shows up “more than 50 results” so I don’t get to see them all. Thanks.
