I’m finding that even though I click the ‘x’ at the upper right of the “Welcome” banner to dismiss it, the banner returns every time I go to a different section of the forum. ![bSICF%20splash%20banner](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/buildingsmart1/original/1X/0de8825900ec3ff5c7d463e193bb35e8c8b81c86.jpg) Might it be possible to dismiss the banner for good once it has been read and manually dismissed with the little ‘x’ button? ---

Let me look into it. I believe that it rests every time you leave and come back. Maybe I can get it to do otherwise. ---

Thank you sir! Having it not reset on each topic switch would be great. ---

same here, Firefox 63.0b6, - no big deal, but it’d be nice if the welcome banner did not persist. ---

I have examined this further Jeffrey and it will appear when users go to a different page - however on scrolling down the banner does not stick at the top with the latest version of Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100, Safari or Firefox. I will investigate further and see if I can adjust the code. Best wishes, Stephen ---
