Hi Bobby,
It only shows up once - the very first time you post your first post - but you probably already "knew" that!
Sometimes, could it be a poster mentions they are new on the board they are writing on, but they made their first post on Newbies, or somewhere else? I guess you'd have to check every board to know for sure...
And I'm not sure if the technology is 100% perfect...or what it keys on - posting name, new IP address....
Maybe be mindful not to post anything that makes actual new people feel badly and/or that you might be calling them predators....not that you were....but experience here has shown me general statements are sometimes taken more personally than specific ones as some may ask themselves,"hey is he talkin' about ME?"
Just sayin'...
If I can find out a better answer from Dr. Bob, Dinah, or Racer, I will.
