When I log in for the very first time as a new (non-admin) user I see the large banner with the message: " Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of your very own [Civilized Discourse Construction Kit](http://www.discourse.org/). 🐣 …" 1. This seems like it shouldn’t show for a non-admin user 2. How do I disable it altogether? I have looked high and low. Thanks in advance. ---

Did you somehow skip the setup wizard? It’s supposed to launch when the first admin logs in. I _think_ you are referring to the pinned topic with the description of your site, which you should be setting in the wizard on first boot. ---

Don’t believe I skipped the setup wizard on first boot. Everything else is working fine. I am self hosted. How do I confirm if I did or not? Short of that, how do I disable the message? To be clear, it is this: ![dc%20banner](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/a/5a65c62c6f2ec68ae9f82f2c04149f9b8b8b6dc7.png) ---

It looks like someone turned the “READ ME FIRST: Getting started” post into a banner. You’ll want to undo that. Visit the topic, use the topic level admin wrench and select “Un-Pin Topic”, then “Remove Banner Topic”. ---
