 * Hi,
    Yesterday I upgraded to WP 2.1.3 and changed my database to PHP5. I get 
   this message under every post: WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_level’
   in ‘where clause’] SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_users WHERE user_level > 2
 * I also lost the pictures in my post (not in the pages). I’ve copied them all 
   to wp-content.
 * Can someone please help? It’s to save the elephants!!
