Possibility to hide system posts

addshore

Is it possible to hide system posts / messages such as This is the site banner ?

There is a “Dismiss” button in the corner of such a message (cannot quote the exact phrase as I closed it already), no?

Doesn’t seem to be in a vanilla Discourse installation, but https://github.com/discourse/discourse-hide-post may help?

The idea is that users just close the banner by clicking the X in the upper right corner.

The topic that creates that banner is still visible in the column of latest topics but this is small problem, since new topics will bury it soon. I don’t think it is worth touching our vanilla instance for this.
