That is bizarre, check the view permissions in Admin >> Welcome Message.

Also you could check if the {WMESSAGE} shortcode is present in the theme.php

Check:

For help / info on adding welcome message to your theme.

Default install should use Core theme.
But remember ; there is no more lime image.
as phpnoobie mentioned : wmessage in theme : yest it should be there : customheader : Home (line 147)as called by Home link (=index php)

In the past, the welcome message was displayed along with news below it. Now, that isn't the case. I have tried with all of the default themes to have it display the welcome message and the news items.

What I ended up doing is making a menu for the Welcome Message and having the news load below that. It does the same thing I want so I guess it is fixed.

You found a working method and if it works, fine, but i think you are mislead by the new theme and its settings.

(for some reason i can not post all i want: so heres all bundled withoutexplanations in small form)

DEactivate the wmessage field under wmessage/options
set your frontpage to news
wmessage should now be there
change Home url in sitelinks for home. (when news = obsolete)
done.
use as before versions.
