When a user is logged out of the site, the Published and Upcoming links show perfectly fine. If a user is logged in to the site, then the Published and Upcoming links are not showing (see screenshots). I have tried every template that I have installed and the same thing happens, so it is not a template issue. I have re-uploaded the files for 1.0.3b just in case it was because of a corrupted file or something with no luck. I removed all of the modules in case it was a compatibility issue with them, but that was not the problem either.
Please see the attached screenshots of the logged out screen and the logged in screen.
I have another Pligg site that I was planning on upgrading as well, but I'm holding off until I figure out what's wrong with this one.
Has anybody else experienced the same problem? If so, what was the problem? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
It appears that it only applies to users who were in the database before the upgrade. I added a new user and logged in and both the Published and Upcoming news links show up fine.
Checked users DB table and removed user_categories values
The only difference between the new user and all of the previous users was that there was a value of "1,2" in the user_categories field in the users table in the database. I removed the values and now all previous users are able to see the Published and Upcoming news links. I can verify that before the upgrade those values were not there, so upgrading added them to the fields.

We applied an update to the SVN version of Pligg this week that should do a better job making sure that user categories are correctly set during upgrades. We also added a new button to bottom of the Admin > Manage > Categories page that lets you reset all user selected categories to "all".
