Very weird: "Newbie" title not going away

Allright, I turned off titles for non-post groups (my staff) and everyone's "Newbie" title Disappeared EXCEPT for ONE member.  My board manager.  No matter what I do, I CANNOT get rid of her "Newbie" title.  It's showing her position (group designation), then right under it, Newbie.

Here's another quirk:  Her name shows up in BOLD in the "Users online" list, and nobody else does.

She was originally part of that Built-in Global Moderator's group, but I made a new group with custom permissions for her.  At first, I thought that group was screwed up, so I made a WHOLE NEW group and put her in, and it's still the same thing.  Newbie/bold name in list.

Next step, I checked the DB and went through groups and members and everything, couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. 

I know I should delete her and put her back in, but it's a pain, seeing as how I'm bridging with Joomla, so I figured I'd see if anyone here knew what this was about before I start deleting people.

SMF & J! are both the most recent versions (1.1.1 / 1.0.12)
PHP is 5
MySQL is 4.2
Server OS: Win2K Server
Web Server: Apache

Thanks in advance!

Her name is in bold because she is on your buddy list. You can edit that through your profile.

Is she in any non-post count membergroup?

Oh, ok.. No, I don't mind the bold, I just thought it was interrelated.

I've made it so that you can't see the board unless you're logged in to the main website, so here's what you need:

URL:  http://www.hauntedprs.org [nofollow]
User: test
Pass: test

Once logged in, here's a link to her post:

Her name is "HPRS Tricia" and no, she's not in any additional groups.  I even double checked in SQL editor and looked at the "additionalGroups" field in the members table, and there is NOTHING there. 

While in SQL, I got her group ID, which is 24.

Then I went to membergroups table and checked: 24, which comes back to her position (board manager), and the value for "minPosts" for her group is set to -1

I looked in every other single table in the database for SOME reference to her belonging to another group, but there's nothing. 

I AM bridging with Jooma! if that helps..

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,

I am going through the old unsolved support topics. Is she involved in a secondary membergroup or, maybe, is she actually got some sort of special title that she is using?
