Removable only mount for root

Forgive me if this has been answered before, i did search but didn't come up with anything;

I followed the procedures to change my desktop following Jorges tweaks and tips (successfully).

Since then Thunar will not mount any removables unless I call Thunar from Terminal as root.

Are these 2 things connected or is there another explanation?

What is the terminal procedure for mounting a removable outside of Thunar?

 

Can i bump this so anyone could help please.

or at least point at a URL for Linux removable 101

I was going to tell you to kill Thunar, but this fixes it by default

 

Thanks Sammy. Problem solved.

now for the other 135 questions I have about Linux......
