[support] Making menu peek-a-boo

I don't know on the login - I have used the /user backdoor, and also
sometimes the back button. I hope you get it sorted out quickly! I have also
had some odd login behavior - getting bounced out for no apparent reason.

The way I have done a members-only block, I have an image there for
anonymous users, and a menu for logged-in users, so it doesn't take up
additional space. I don't know if that would work for you.

Do you mean like the admin menu items are always visible on your site? On
all of mine it disappears if I am not logged in.
