        The problem is more serious than that .. you would have to deny
administrative access for all of your (possibly paying) website admins.
If I was on the receiving end of that, it would really get me angry.

        The users are currently in a lose-lose situation.

I guess I was smart in never telling any of my users they're on a RaQ. We've gone a step further since then...

We don't have any "admin" users on any of our websites. I think that keeps us clean. Instead we make all changes for all our users.

However, I was about to dedicate a box to the Cobalt style interface and try selling it, strictly as a sales-test, to see if people liked it better, if it made our administration easier.

Now I can't/won't until this problem is fixed <frown>.
