A lot of new members have joined our Discourse recently. Some of them are replying to very old topics. My question is would it be possible to hide the X Months Later notice that appears above a new reply?

I’m curious as to why you’d want to do that. I find it super helpful to know when a reply came in, it provides a really interesting context. My first thought would be to close old threads. 🙂

As an artsy forum, with multiple creators sharing their works, we wouldn’t want to close old threads. And each post has a time stamp, so we think these notices are quite useless. 🙂

You can do this by adding some css (under `admin > customize > themes`)

```css
.time-gap {
  .topic-avatar {
    height: 0;
   }
  .small-action-desc.timegap {
    display: none;
  }
}

```

Thank you for your quick response, Kris. Already applied! 🙂
