I only want the Forum link only to appear if a user is logged in. I have the two following settings that I thought would accomplish this: Register - View: Yes Register - Post: Yes With these settings the link only appears for the admin user. I can get to the forum by a link or the forumposts block with any other user but I\'d rather have it available by the advanced search Contact links. Does this make sense? Thanks in advance.

You can use PHP in the menu option... so that it checks if a user is logged in... I have one similar on my site. When a user is logged in, it displays "Logoff", when a user is not logged in, it displays "Login":
Text Formatted Code
<?php
  if ($_USER['uid'] > 1) {
    print '<a href="{site_url}/users.php?mode=logout"><b>Logout</b></a></td>';
  } else {
    print '<a href="{site_url}/users.php?mode=login"><b>Login</b></a></td>';
  }
?>
To determine the page, use:
Text Formatted Code
if ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == "/forum/index.php") {
    print '<a href="{site_url}/forum/index.php" class="selected"> forum </a> <span class="netscape4">   </span>';
  } else {
    print '<a href="{site_url}/forum/index.php" class="plain"> forum </a> <span class="netscape4">   </span>';
  }
