Description

The help pop-up is so annoying, can it be disabled?

History

Updated by Philipp Gampe over 1 year ago

No there is no such option. There was a lot of discussion about this and the result was to not have any option. Or do you - by chance - know some software where you can disable the help popups?

Bad decision. There are lots of items and functionalities that can be en- or disabled. One should expect that this is one of them. More experienced users really have no need for this. For now I have added a script in my browser that prevents these pop-ups.

Although there was this decision to force all users to always have these pop-ups activated, I agree with you that there are users, who do not need them (for several reasons).

What do you think about publishing this as an extension in TER?

Having such an extension available out of the box would surely help these users.

It's a browser enhancement for Chrome. Unfortunately I'm not capable of writing T3 extensions, PHP is not my cup of tea...
Core developers just have to add the option to disable it, how hard can it be. It would be illogical to create an extension for such a small feature.
