The following should be visible in the "Create" and "My Account" menus Right now, the drop down menus show all options available to every user and admin, but not all users can create content on QMO. What ends up happening is that these users will click on a link to create content and end up with an "Access Denied" page which will degrade their experience with the site :(. To remove the risk of confusing a user, we should really only show what options they have available. Logged-in user that is not an admin: Create: Forum topics My Account: Edit Account, Subscriptions Logged-in admin: Create: current implementation My Account: current implementation
This is an easy fix. I'll post an attachment to put in the block over the weekend. No push required, but it depends on bug 470123 as you stated.
