How customizable is the hint that appears when creating a new post?

Hi @seanblue

We are just considering changing that message and perhaps the setting that controls the logic.

To change the message text

Go to Admin, Customise, Text and search for
“Your topic is similar to…”:


Click on Edit and change the text of the message to be displayed - do not forget to click on Save Changes.

Settings for the frequency of the message

The frequency of this message is controlled with following settings.

Admin, Settings, Posting and search for " min title similar length".

Default value is 10, if that is reduced to 1, the message will be displayed all the time, BUT the topics shown will not be related - this can be very confusing to the user.

Hope this helps…
