Hi Maarten, Firstly a big thank you to everyone who worked on the new design for OpenStreetMap.org website. I'm not going to try to name everyone as I am bound to miss someone out, but as you will see online in this mailing list and on the github development site, there were many people involved with providing feedback and implementing changes to the code. Thanks all. :-) On the subject of the "Welcome Text", the idea of being able to close the welcome box was discussed but ultimately not implemented. The box does go away if you log in. I should add that the decision to not be able to close the welcome box for non-logged in users was a design choice by the main developer of this redesign (that is it may not reflect the opinion of other OSM community members, system admins, or developers). This means that you are welcome to submit a change to the website's code if you wish and it will be considered as with all other changes. I appreciate that this may not be what you wanted to hear, but as with any big change, there is likely to be a few teething issues. Best regards, Rob
