That works, Chatserv.

What happened to being able to be logged in just as admin and administer the forums via phpnuke admin > forums rather than having be logged in both as admin and a user?

Ron..

It used to work like that but that's not how it was supposed to be, what's the use of having forum user levels if they won't be used? Wink

here is new code i have from update

global $admin;
$admin = base64_decode($admin);
$admin = explode(":", $admin);
$aid = "$admin[0]";
$sql = "SELECT radminforum, radminsuper FROM ".$prefix."_authors WHERE aid='$aid'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
if (!is_admin($admin) AND ($row[radminsuper] != 1 OR $row[radminforum] != 1)) {

I replaced the updated pagestart.php with an earlier version. That solved the problem for me, but I don't know if the security problem is still fixed now.
