Illegal operation- admin link

In wich of the forums files can I remove the link to the administration.

modules/Forums/admin/index.php?admin=1

The link is directly under the quick reply mod and should not be visible for user.

Susann, I am not seeing this link regardless of how I am logged in. What theme are you seeing this on?

Theme DeepBlue. I had before DeepBlue and didn´t have there such a link.
But it is in one of the forums files because in an earlier forums version I removed this link if I remember correctly.

Pretty sure it only shows for those users who are actually forum admins.
But in case you want to delete this link completely, check in your template files - overall_footer.tpl for the variable

Code:

{ADMIN_LINK}

and delete it

I agree. I've tried anonymous and a regular user and I am not seeing this link with DeepBlue or fisubice.

Thanks. I removed the link was my greatest action within the last 24 hours. "lol"

But, Susann, was it the scenario that Evaders mentioned where the forum user was an administrator from a forums permissions standpoint? I just want to close-the-loop on this.

Thx.

Yes, I forgot that I was logged in as moderator but normal user don´t see that link.

Moderators shouldn't see that link either, they only have access to the moderator control panels on the main forums view. You sure you weren't logged in as a user with forums administrator level?

Evaders you are right it works that way.
