Brilliant @wbcomdesigns !! I went to Profile>>Messages>>All Member Notices and it was there – Deactivated it… simple… as I thought it must of been…

THANK YOU GUYS!!!

[sugar7]

@venutius thanks; I did another search but nothing similar to that in either of those 2 places…

@wbcomdesigns Do you mean log in as Admin to the site? The notice doesn’t appear for log in – it probably did once, but when it is closed it does not appear again… only for new users who log in..

Here is the screenshot when I inspect the page the notice appears on – I thought this would show where the message is coming from…. Why so difficult??!

We’re a volunteer run company, so it’s up to me to figure it out along with help from forums like this.. (and generosity of people like yourself). I was hoping someone with php coding knowledge would be able to at least explain where to look – eg where would the notice text be stored? ie. in what type of file? The search function in cPanel doesn’t seem to search inside of files – is this possible somehow?
