Hi,
was just having a look at the who is online window and ordered it by ID. As expected, there were lots of 'new this week' researchers at the bottom of the list but there were also newbies further up the list between researchers who did not have the 'new this week' tag.
How is it possible for a newer researcher to have a lower ID than an older researcher?
Just curious really.

I noticed this the other day too. I ended up thinking it was something to do with when the researcher writes the first intro on their PS (they retain newbie status until they do?). The 'older' newbies I looked at hadn't written anything in their intro.

Are you sure about the email thing Traveller? I thought you couldn't post until you had replied to the email.

It is likely they are from another area that has now been pulled into dna.. We might not be able to reach them from here.

Traveller I'm assuming you didn't look at the PS you linked. I've yikesed (along with a convo and entry) because that was one sick (or young, stupid, boring) researcher.
