Hello, I’m just wondering if there is a way to change this message that appears at the top of topics when a new user makes their first post? [Capture] I run a bereavement community and have received feedback that “welcoming” a user is insensitive so it would be good to change it to something more in line with our tone of voice. I can’t find this anywhere in settings. Thank you!

You can customise the text from your /admin/customize/site_texts page, and the string you’re looking for is js.post.notice.new_user. :+1: As a general tip, you can type a key part of the text you’re looking to replace into the search box on that page and it should bring up the one you want. :slight_smile: There is also the returning user post notice, though I don’t think that one sounds like it will be as sensitive - but it’s js.post.notice.returning_user if you need it. And you can adjust what trust levels can see them using the new user notice tl and returning user notice tl admin settings: [image]

Thanks so much! That’s exactly what I was after :slight_smile:
