It’s driving my crazy, is there any way to disable the automatic bump on Discourse? The feature isn’t for me and I have to stop getting the AUTOMATICALLY BUMPED messages. Thanks,

OK, I think I was editing the wrong settings. Currently it’s set to nothing. I’m setting all them to 0.

See Automatically bumping old topics on a category If you have configured some categories of your site to bump you have to disable the feature from the settings of that category

I have tried that option, but it says that the value needs to be larger than 0. Thanks,

I just tried to set #support to 0 and it works [image] [imagem] mhwebee: OK, I think I was editing the wrong settings. Currently it’s set to nothing. I’m setting all them to 0. Ah ok!

If the their value are set nothing, I still need to set them to 0? Thanks,

Nope, in my test site I never activated this function and the category setting is empty.

Thank you so much for your help.

I’m curious, can you explain why you don’t like the automatic bumps?

Because I have a small forum and the notifications under topic are overwhelming. Also, personal preference. I guess if the system account and the AUTOMATICALLY BUMPED message will stop appearing in the topics it would be a much better feature.

Why don’t you close/delete these topics? We’re using them here and it has been a tremendous help in closing old topics and/or deleting irrelevant ones.
