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

When you start typing the title for a new topic, sometimes the “your topic is similar to” message appears. Is it possible to have other messages show up there? For example, if the title (or body for that matter) included specific keywords, would it be possible to show a custom message with explanations / links to FAQs and stuff like that?

We get a lot of the same question from new users, and while the FAQ explains it, of course no one reads it… So it would be nice if the answer could be given to them directly before they post the same question for the hundredth time. You’d think all these similar topics would appear in the regular “your topic is similar to” message, but that doesn’t seem to work well with Japanese characters (which may be its own issue). Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Perhaps, but they won’t read that, either. Not that it is not worth doing, but realize the type of user you are referring to will read almost nothing displayed on the screen. So keep your expectations in check.

That’s true. I’m hoping some of them just didn’t know about the FAQ or Discourse search feature, but many users would surely ignore the suggestions too, as you said.

您好 @seanblue

我们正在考虑更改此消息,或许还有控制逻辑的设置。

更改消息文本

前往“管理”(Admin),“自定义”(Customise),“文本”(Text),然后搜索
“您的帖子与以下内容相似…”:


点击“编辑”(Edit),然后更改要显示的消息文本 - 不要忘记点击“保存更改”(Save Changes)

消息频率设置

此消息的频率由以下设置控制。

前往“管理”(Admin),“设置”(Settings),“发帖”(Posting),然后搜索“最小标题相似长度”(min title similar length)。

默认值为 10,如果将其减少到 1,消息将一直显示,但显示的帖子将不相关 - 这可能会让用户感到非常困惑。

希望这有帮助……
