Look for a module on the page that has edit permissions set for registered users.

Hi John,
Thanks for the link. I tried this suggestion from you DNN tips and Tricks

I have a feeling the way this has been implemented will get changed in the core, but until it does, here is an easy work-around.
Just place the following code in the skin that you are seeing this slim control bar on.

 <%
    If Not DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.TabPermissionController.HasTabPermission("EDIT") Then
        ControlPanel.visible = false
    End If
%>
I placed this line on my skin where it seemed most proper, with the tag registeries, like this
....
%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="Menu" Src="~/Admin/Skins/SolPartMenu.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TREEVIEW" Src="~/admin/Skins/TreeViewMenu.ascx"%>
<%
    If Not DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions.TabPermissionController.HasTabPermission("EDIT") Then
        ControlPanel.visible = false
    End If
%>
and I got an error that says 'controlPanel' is not defined, So i made the controlpanel on my skin, now the error is ofcourse gone, but this 'fix' diables the panel for admins too....by using this fix I now forfeit my ability to add modules and what not.....

is there any way to have both 1) no confusing , page balance breaking, EDIT/VIEW bar 2)keep admin/host editing privilages?
