In our particular forum we encourage users to dig up old topics. Is there any way to disable the composer messages that tries to dissuade them from doing so?
Edit: adding “Revive this topic” for future searchers.

In a discussion about disabling the ‘Revive this topic’ composer message, jacte explains their forum encourages reviving old topics and seeks a way to suppress the warning. simon responds that the message can be disabled by setting the site setting warn reviving old topic age to 0. jacte thanks simon and asks whether there’s a comprehensive list of composer messages and if “composer message” is the correct term. simon confirms the term and suggests searching “education” in Admin / Customize / Text Content to find composer-related messages, noting it may return extra results. Later, sam clarifies that the message was removed from Discourse entirely, so disabling it is no longer necessary — referencing a meta thread for context. The discussion concludes with the understanding that the feature is obsolete, making configuration changes unnecessary.
You can disable the ‘Revive this topic’ composer message by setting the warn reviving old topic age site setting to 0.
Ah, there it is! Thank you. I did a lot of searching and couldn’t find the right key word (should’ve searched “reviv” instead of “revive”). Hopefully this will help the next person.
As an aside, is there a list of all the different composer messages? And is “composer message” the right word for it? Had a hard time finding that term, too.
Yes, ‘composer message’ is the right term for the messages that appear.
The only way I know of to see the list of composer messages through the UI is to go to Admin / Customize / Text Content and enter education into the search box. This works because Discourse prefixes the key that is used in the composer message translations with education.
Searching for education will return a few extra hits, but it’s fairly clear which of the results are used in the composer messages.
You should no longer need to disable this as it was removed a while back! It is no longer part of the product.
