One approach is to edit the addnewcat template. Look for lines that contain

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions']">

There are four in total in this template. The second encloses a sequence starting

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions']">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
	<strong>$vbphrase[ll_forumparent]</strong>
	<br /><span class="smallfont">
	$curforumtitle<br />
	$vbphrase[ll_forumparent_text]
	</span>
	</td>

You could change this conditional test, e.g.

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions'] or $links_permissions['can_moderate_links']">

thank you, will try

one more suggestion: is it possible to make vba modules read thumbs from ldm_thumb folder (local storage) instead of generating them each time?
for security reasons, i have my covers ftp on a separate server, and i don't want covers fail to display IF that server is down....

thanks
