Is there any way to turn off the blue information messages that are at the top of my Discourse screen? They are annoying. Here are the messages. Message 1 may never be turned off because we may never get to 50 users.

Message 1  
To make launching your new site easier, you are in bootstrap mode. All new users will be granted trust level 1 and have daily email summary emails enabled. This will be automatically turned off when 50 users have joined.

Message 2  
Let’s start the discussion. There are **6** posts. Visitors need more to read and reply to – we recommend at least **30** posts. Only staff can see this message.

Do a search for `show create topics notice` in Admin \> Settings

Just to clarify, those banners only show for staff – members don’t see them.

you can find the option to disable bootstrap mode in the Site settings: search for the bootstrap option with the filter box ‘bootstrap mode min users’ and set the value to 0 to disable it.
