Hiding Suggested Topics?

We’re finding that having Suggested Topics below every conversation is confusing and distracting. Is there an easy way to hide that? Or, if not, is there a hard way? Thanks!

That’s an odd reaction, as they are a central design point of Discourse, for a variety of reasons:

  1. The “pot of gold” at the end of reading a topic is… more interesting things to read

  2. Suggested prioritizes topics you’ve participated in/created/watched, so it’s a fast way to clear your read queue without pogo-sticking back and forth to the topic lists.

  3. Suggested gives you a related walk in non-closed topics in the same category you’re currently in. I frequently find things in suggested that I wanted to follow up on eventually anyway.

So I’d suggest you might want to try absorbing the Discourse style a bit longer before jumping to extremes. Losing #2 in particular would be really painful for me as a user on your Discourse, if I’m actually reading stuff at all.

That said, if you want to remove, CSS is probably the way:

<div id="suggested-topics">

Just set that element to hidden in CSS, and you can probably set the # of suggested topics returned from the default of 5 to 1 in the site settings to reduce server load a tad.

Ah, thank you Jeff, that does sound like that may be the way to go once our discourse is more populated.

And thanks for the tip about the # in the settings – setting it to 0 hid Suggested Topics completely. For now.

Auch wenn dieses Thema schon älter ist, bin ich auf das gleiche Bedürfnis gestoßen.
In Bezug auf die Antwort von Jeff Atwood dachte ich, dass die Funktionalität nützlich sein könnte, aber die Standardanzeige war wirklich verwirrend.
Ich habe meine Verwirrung gelöst, indem ich mit CSS-Styling experimentiert habe.

Wenn jemand die gleiche Reaktion hat, hat mir dies geholfen, einen klaren Überblick darüber zu bekommen, was auf der Seite passiert:

suggested-topics {
border-top: solid;
border-color: #86a7db;
background-color: #dae3e8;
}
.topic-post {
border: solid;
border-color: #c8d5db;
background-color: #e6f0f5;
}

Um die vorgeschlagenen Themen am Ende eines Themas zu entfernen, können Sie die Admin-Einstellung suggested topics auf 0 setzen. :+1:
