in reply to Help with "User Settings"

On configuring Nodelets, until you have given some sort of preferences, you are using the default nodelets. If you go in and "add" a couple of nodelets, they should then be the ONLY ones you have. You will then have the ability to add new ones or to remove these that you have added.

You also gain the ability to set the order of the nodelets on your pages when you do this.

    mpolo, thanks for a clear and useful answer to a question (why don't the check boxes show up) that although frustrating to me seems to have been unappreciated by many folks who voted it down.
