For our dnn site all registered users can hover near the Forum title (i.e. when displayed in a container only) and access the user settings, my post, search etc where as Host/ admin users can see this only at EDIT mode. How do I restrict registered users from hovering over near the title and accessing these settings. We have created a Text/HTML near by which has the same links as user settings, search and prefer to use a container to display the DNN forum module.

Hi Matthias,

When a normal user creates a new post or replies to an exisiting one or quote etc there is an Add/Edit Post text label found on top of the page which has an action dropdown menu next to it. I just want to get rid of the drop down from that label, similarily if I add a container to the entire forum normal users have the same action dropdown menu next to the title of the forum module. These drop down arent available for a admin/host user and I would like the same functionality for normal registered users.

You were right about not working properly in Txt/Html module. We haven't figured out on how to obtain the user post but rest all work as its supposed to and the links have been made relative.

Just this drop down is kinda a disturbing the consistent pattern of our website.

Thanks for that Matthias, found this code in ForumUtil.vb and changed the permissions such that normal users can't see the drop down.
