Also since the other dude hasnt replied as of yet think you could answer my question in my previous post about changing "links database" in the breadcrumb to "Downloads"?

Now I understand...

If you use the admincp to change the 'default forum' *after* you have created links/categories, the permissions for those that already exist do not get reset automatically. You can change them one at a time as you did, or you can go to the admin/categories page, where there is a feature to mass edit the access permissions. The documentation explains this, but I realise that it is probably not what people expect.

Concerning changing the title in the breadcrumb, this feature is available in the VB3.5 version of this hack. I've stopped updating this VB3.0.x code (unless there are serious bugs) - it's too much work to keep the two versions in sync - I'll add the 'default forum perms' to the 'to do' list.
