That pop only appears if you forgot to click the welcome button for the new member. I guess we could reword it to make it easier to read?
When I joined the site a few years ago, I went back and welcomed everyone that has a "welcome" thread, and also folks that joined up to about last spring. It took awhile:

So I like this new feature. But like others have mentioned, the "feature" does not seem to be aware of whom I have and have not welcomed -- which I understand might be a difficult thing to track. In the meantime, I am having to answer two dialog boxes for about every thread I visit. So its kind of "two steps forward and one step back".
