Hi, all  
This tip hides the topic preview, which is important for a newbie that post a topic for the first time. Can I disable it?  
Thanks

Have you read what the tip says? It’s there specifically for new users and only appears on their first two posts.

Top right there’s a cross they can use to dismiss it, similarly as indicated it will also disappear when they tap escape on the keyboard.

Just use CSS, find the class of the popup, write a theme component that hides it if you wish.
