if you set db_gen_category_list to 0 and use the Modify.pm I sent you, it should work (i.e. users will see a list of categories, but they cannot change them).
Hello, thanks for all the help and consideration. We are trying out your Modify.pm (and it is definitely better than the default), but we have to keep
db_gen_category_list = Yes. If we turn it off for the users, we turn it off for Admin as well -- and that would be a greater problem than the one solved.
