Description

For users who aren't logged in, clicking on the Account page renders an error message. The menu bar disappears meaning that users have to press 'back' in their browser to return back to the full site. Therefore, we should remove the Account link from the menu bar for users who aren't logged in, so that we don't have an unnecessary link that only causes extra problems.

This looks like it goes against what the spec is asking for cf. DE006 which asks for inaccessibility not hidden. But we will certainly look into the issue with navigation - need some 401 handling for inaccessible pages due to no authorisation.

This one's my fault - see comments on #5 , I've been too busy looking at CSS/styling so I forgot to check back in the spec before I suggested that Liam raises it!

I concede that the spec doesn't require the Account link to be hidden, but I think for the reasons that myself and Neil discussed in #5 , we should request to update the specification to cater for this requirement. It would certainly improve the quality of the application.
