These are God-awful annoying and I’d like to remove them on my own site :frowning: [rrrrr]

Ahh, I was wondering since that post was pretty old! Thanks.

I must be blind. Where can I find that setting? Sorry, new to all this and have been staring at my screen for a good 15hrs today

it is in admin-settings. Go to all site settings and type “max similar” in the settings filter field: [IMG_1443]

Will this also get rid of the other messages like these? [eeeee]

No, as the setting’s name suggests, it only applies to the pop ups for similar topic results.

Ah, darn. So, there’s no way to disable those? Another related question…is it possible to by default, make the new topic box smaller without having to click it? [qqqqqqqq]

You could probably just do it with css.

Is there a way to remove the pop-ups when making a new topic?

Discourse is written by experienced developers and has a large codebase. This can feel intimidating. This intimidation factor can be a significant barrier for novice developers. This is a kind of ‘psychological primer’…
