  Hi there,
  
  Looking at the the server vars ( print_r($_SERVER); ) on the index page when news is set as the start module I see that we get two different values for the the [QUERY_STRING] :
  
  if you are logged in as admin the query string returns null, on the other hand if you are not logged in as admin the query string shows " name=News "...
  
  Why is this so? Seems strange to me...

  Now looking at $GLOBALS['pnconfig'] I see that $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['startpage'] is present if you are logged in as admin, but not present if you are NOT logged in as admin.
  
  Logic dictates that admin gets the nice $global whilst everyone else gets a crusty old server global.
  
  Why, oh why, oh why is it like this?

  And then foolish Lobos remembers /PNConfig...
  
  pnModGetVar('/PNConfig', 'startpage'); - not as nicely formatted as $pnconfig['startpage'] but it will do...
  
  Now I have been noticing some little things like this everynow and then - ie differences in certain global variables depending if one is logged as admin (or not). For example the comments in my nvMenus module:
  
  //pnVarCleanFromInput function is cutting a dimension off multidimension $_request arrays
  //if user doesn't have full admin privs, due I think to the admin priv check in the
  //pnVarCleanFromInput function - includes/pnapi.php
  //$vars = pnVarCleanFromInput('update');
  
  It may be worthwhile someone looking into this - actually I can't really understand why there is an admin check there...
