Sorry this is so confusing...

Okay, I'm working on the bike review database so lets use that one. If $db_userid is "" or "default", navigation has these links:

what's new, search, list all, login, sign up.

If the user logs in from any one of those pages, navigation changes to this:

what's new, search, list all, add, modify, delete, change password, log off.

There are some extra options for admin access too if ($db_userid eq "admin")

So if a person hasn't signed in or doesn't have an account, they can only login or signup from the 1st set of links mentioned above.
