How come the greeting for first time users appears?

Hi

If I understand it correctly, the template for the greeting is widgets/system_messages.html but the div block has

style="display:none".

How come when a user arrives for the first time, the div block becomes

style=""

Which function changes the style of that block?

Thanks

The message is shown by javascript, by jQuery fadeIn() at: askbot/media/js/utils.js:notify().

So does that mean widgets/system_messages.html is not used at all to generate the greeting?

That specific greeting shows just once, there was a complaint when it was showing to the anonymous users every time. The way messages work: they are initially printed with display none, then faded in with js to get the animation effect.
