yep, that did it for me.
In other words, you should have the permission-check section look like

PHP Code:

if (!ismoderator() or !$permissions['canview']) { 
  include "vb3login.php";
  cpfooter();
  exit;
}
 
// ###################### Start makemodchoosercode ####################### 


Also, note that you'll have to edit the vb3login.php page if you want to use the same stylesheet & pics for mod & admin panel (basically create absolute paths for them)
