Well, I'll be honest and say that, until now, I've never seen that before. It does take too long to show up, and is in the 'off' flash state for too long, in my opinion.

I would think it would be good if it came up even on replies to existing postings, too... but that may not be necessary. Maybe, and I realise this would probably need more coding, it could be made to be significantly visible and annoying, but only show up for people with less than 50 postings, or similar?

Cheers,

A.
