Admin is a newbie?

[euripides]

Does anyone find it strange that when you install a new copy, the Administrator shows up as a newbie?
Shouldn't that somehow not be a default?
How do you guys solve it?

Nope as the post counts are based on those groups, you can actually in current theme settings hide it, at the bottem of the page one column up there are 2 check boxes ... check those

Thanks, I did it!
Will this affect all members? Can I just do it for Admin/moderators?

[NekoJonez]

I think it affects all members... no?

[Kindred]

yes, it affects all members.  Anyone who has a primary group will have their post-count-group hidden.

Is there currently a way to hide that title for admins/global mods but not for users?

[Herman's Mixen]

as for the primiary groups, Administrators and Global Moderators this will just work out of the box as i stated above...
the normal users will still get the "newbie", as they are not in any primary group

If they are in a primary membergroup... no, there is no way to hide the post-count title for one group and not another. That would have to involve custom coding.

Yes, I tested.
