   Alright so I am trying to figure out how to do this on the P2 theme from Automatic.

   I would like to have the "Recent Updates" where all of the posts show up hidden to any non admin user. So that someone could write something in the post box but only an admin or something could see what is posted.

   Any thoughts?!? :)

   Thanks!

   Are you talking about inline ajax loading? You want only admin to see the automatic inline loading of the latest post?

   Basically I want to try and figure out how to have all users be able to post things via the submit box when your logged in, but admins are only able to see the "Recent Updates" below the submit box... Make sense?

   Thanks so much!!

   So, essentially, you DO NOT want regular users to see "Recent Updates" below the submit box? What do you want them to see instead? Just a blank page?

   Yeah just a blank page and than the box to just refresh.

   Basically, I want to use it so that people can submit questions on a site and just the admin users can see them and no one else can.

   Thanks!

   In p2/index.php,
   Search for:

   f( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/post-form.php';

   Add the following line AFTER the above line:
   <?php if (current_user_can('level_10', get_the_id())): ?>

   Then,
   Search for </div> <!-- main -->

   Add the following line BEFORE the above line:
   <?php endif; // hide post ?>

   Hope this helps.

   I added both of those lines and even with a user that is an editor or even when no one is logged in you are still able to see the posts.

   It is at http://wwjt.org

   Wilson Thank you so much for your help with this. It is very appreciated. :)

   Strange ... it works for me though. Here is my p2/index.php file with the two additional lines to hide posts. Compare and see if you have the same.

   <?php
   	global $paged;
   	prologue_new_post_noajax();
   	get_header();
   ?>
   <div class="sleeve_main">
   <?php
   	if( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/post-form.php';
   ?>
   <?php if (current_user_can('level_10', get_the_id())): ?>
   <div id="main">
   	<h2><?php _e( 'Recent Updates' , 'p2'); ?> <?php if ( $paged > 1 ) printf( __('Page %s', 'p2'), $paged ); ?>
   		<a class="rss" href="<?php bloginfo( 'rss2_url' ); ?>">RSS</a>
   		<span class="controls">
   			<a href="#" id="togglecomments"><?php _e('Hide threads', 'p2'); ?></a> | <a href="#directions" id="directions-keyboard"><?php  _e('Keyboard Shortcuts', 'p2'); ?></a>
   		</span>
   	</h2>
   <?php
   if ( have_posts() ):
   ?>
   <ul id="postlist">
   <?php
   	while( have_posts() ):
   	    the_post();
           require dirname(__FILE__) . '/entry.php';
       endwhile; // have_posts
   ?>
   </ul>
   <?php else: // have_posts ?>
   <ul id="postlist">
   	<li class="no-posts">
       	<h3><?php _e('No posts yet!', 'p2'); ?></h3>
   	</li>
   </ul>
   <?php
   endif; // have posts
       prologue_navigation();
   ?>
   <?php endif; // hide post ?>
   </div> <!-- main -->
   </div> <!-- sleeve -->
   <?php get_footer( );
