Hide the Discourse "similar topic" warning

I was getting really annoyed by the overlay that Discourse (this forum software) would display whenever a new thread was being created, obscuring the right markdown preview pane, just as I was getting into the flow of writing.

The markdown preview pane is really useful for catching syntax errors, so I would close the pop-up (annoying), but then whenever I would begin typing again the damned thing would pop up again (double annoying).

So, I’ve added the following CSS to Stylish, affecting the forums.donejs domain:

.similar-topics {
  display: none !important;
}

No more obnoxious pop-ups!

Hope this helps anyone else getting annoyed with the big blue pop-up notepad thing.
