On a site where I am a moderator, i.e. Code Review, I was looking at this post from a user that joined within the past day. The new contributor indicator is not appearing under their username and avatar.

missing new contributor icon

This is occurring in every browser I have checked, including:

  • Google Chrome Version 99.0.4844.74 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10
  • Google Chrome Version Version 99.0.4844.74 (Official Build) (x86_64) on Mac OS X 12.2.1
  • Microsoft Edge Version 99.0.1150.39 (Official build) (64-bit) on Windows 10
  • Mozilla Firefox 98.0.1 (64-bit) on Mac OS X 12.2.1
  • Mozilla Firefox 98.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10
  • Safari Version 15.3 (17612.4.9.1.8) on Mac OS X 12.2.1

Interestingly it does appear on a new post for that same user on their recent post on Stack Overflow. Why is it not showing on Code Review?

The post did have the indicator when it was first created. However, the user performed a merge of the unregistered account into their registered account. We clear the new contributor status from all posts when a merge occurs because trying to recalculate whether or not to apply it to each post is too tedious.
