Okay,

I've went through every combination on this and I'm left with this

#

# Dumping data for table `nuke_bbgroups`
#

INSERT INTO nuke_bbgroups VALUES (1, 1, 'Anonymous', 'Personal User', 0, 1);
INSERT INTO nuke_bbgroups VALUES (3, 2, 'Admin', 'Moderators of this Forum', 5, 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_bbgroups VALUES (2, 2, 'Registered', '', 0, 0);

#
# Dumping data for table `nuke_bbuser_group`
#

INSERT INTO nuke_bbuser_group VALUES (1, -1, 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_bbuser_group VALUES (2, 634, 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_bbuser_group VALUES (3, 2, 0);

#
# Dumping data for table `pp_usergroups`
#

INSERT INTO pp_usergroups VALUES (1, 'Anonymous', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO pp_usergroups VALUES (2, 'Registered', 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO pp_usergroups VALUES (3, 'Admin', 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0);

INSERT INTO nuke_bbuser_group VALUES (2, 634, 0); This was you Omegatron when I gave you access to admin.

Every tom dick and harry can get access to admin, having read through so many posts on this topic its clear that this is not a 100% accurate method....

1. How do I remove the admin link on the top menu in the coding ?

If I can remove this, then I can work on securing access to admin via a pop up box.
