 * Hi, can anybody help?
 * I have a database error on WP2 in the manager section:
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_level’ in ‘where clause’]SELECT
   ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_level <= ’10’ AND ID != 1
 * Plus 2 WordPress logo’s at the bottom of the page!
 * What do’s this mean and how can I fix it?
 * Thanks Tony (Netdreamer)

 * you probably have a plugin that used the old user levels, vs the new roles. Check
   with the author to see if they’ve upgraded for 2.0

 * Is this a new install? Tried disabling any plugins?
