thank you for your help, what got me was the admin index.php I wasn't used to how the admin options used to work long ago... so after some digging and help above I got it... thanks for not spelling it out, makes the learning process more fun :P
It's working great now...
Question though: how would someone go about adding access masks to the faq system? aka make it so you have to be registered before reading a faq catigory.
