Hello

After a discussion about moderators about spending an extended amount of time on the screen, I decided it’ll be best to remind staff members(and non-staff!) to frequently take a break from the forums after looking at it for a long time. New update: It also works on non-staff and can be toggled on and off via theme settings. What does it do?

So unfortunately this feature is depreciated so we can’t install it on our theme.
Is there anything similar?

> I made the PR +1 It has been merged, thanks Chaboi! clap Note this is a simple update. I’ve seen interesting suggestions/features that may be worth to implement: Observe the context to not popup the modal at the wrong time (such as writing) Frequency option Move the text from settings to locale
Once merged, this should fix your issue. 🙂
