  The menu block, when entering in the format [Module], returns a URL similar to:
  
  index.php?name=Module
  
  But, using pnModURL (via pnRender plugin) returns:
  
  index.php?module=Module
  
  As far as I thought, NAME= is the new way to call modules, rather than MODULE= .
  
  Which should be used? And why the difference between menu blocks and pnModURL?
  
  I'm looking at this on a .764 install.
  
  Thanks,

  using square brackets returns an old style URL (i.e. index.php?name=). Use curly brackets to form a new style URL (i.e. index.php?module=) e.g. {Module}.

  And here I was thinking [] were the new way for how long? lol
  
  So why does a new .764 install use old style links with name=Module ?
  
  Here I was thinking .764 should be the example to follow yet it's 180 deg. from it.
  
  So are there any requirements for a module to be called the new way versus the old? Or can any be called that way?
  
  Thanks Mark - appreciate all the hard work. I've got one big project I need to get done, and then I'll have some time to work on docs or something for .8

  It's not so much 'an old way' and 'a new way'. It depends on the type of module. A type 1/old style module containing index.php and admin.php will use an old style URL. A type 2/API compliant module containing pnuser.php and pnadmin.php will use a new style URL.
  
  With .8 this is less of a problem since, apart from the topics module (for backwards compatability), there are no type 1 modules.
