Issue Summary
I have just installed the mypage module and I think it's quite good with much potential. One quirk I have about it is that I cannot move the 'build my page link' away from the 'my account' parent and have it work site wide. It works only for the admin account. I think it has to do with the 'path'. In 'admin/menus', when you change it's position, the path is 'user/uid/mypage'. The 'uid' is 1 for admin, so changes to link positions only are good for the admin account. I have gone through the code an have yet to come up with a solution that I like. I want to have this link as it's own link, without a parent. I believe it has to do with the 'BUILD_LOCATION' type. Anyway, my two cents. Thanks again for the module, it's great.
Cheers,
Wim

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation for a week, just got back and saw this. I'll look into what you are saying, however it might have something to do with your specific setup. I know normal users are able to set up their own "mypages," without access to the admin functions.
Perhaps you turned off access to "my account" for normal users (disabling access to changing passwords or editing their profile)? Have you actually logged in as a normal user and seen what happens?
The 'user/uid/mypage' is essential -- don't change this. However, the menu system is more flexible and you can move the placement of this link, so it is not under "My Account" anymore. Unfortunately the menu system changed in 4.5 so I have to refresh my memory in how to change this.
