The different ways to display the account options in WebGU are the moment inconsistent and confusing.

The "display account" screen, where users can edit their username, password, if permitted, can be reached with 3 operations (in 7.8.9 beta):

• ?op=auth;method=displayAccount (this is returned by a var in the loginbox macro template, I think)
• ?op=auth;method=init (this is what the account macro returns)
• ?op=account;module=user (in the layout templates for profile, account etc.)

All of these display the account template inside the account layout (with the tabs), so far so good, but the first two display it it in the user function style.

The last one (module=user) uses the style set for account in the settings (account tab), which, I guess, is the correct way.

I'm not sure what the bug is here, but it seems to me that all operations that can be used to display a user's account options should work in the same way.

Tmpl_vars and macro's should perhaps be updated to always return the latest syntax for displaying account.

And the other two should probably be made to work exacly like ?op=account;module=user for backwards compatibility's sake.

Whatever the solution, I think that at the very least all different syntaxes should display the account screen in the account style and not in the user function style.
