 * Any time I publish a post or edit a published post, I get this message:
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_level’ in ‘where clause’]
    SELECT
   ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_level > 0
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/lattin1/public_html/greatfamilygadgets/wp-includes/wp-db.php:121) in/
   home/lattin1/public_html/greatfamilygadgets/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line
   275
 * It saves my changes, but I have to click the back button and then make sure the
   changes have been posted. What can I do to fix this? It’s doing it on at least
   two of my blogs that I’ve recently updated to 2.1.
 * Thanks for any help you can give me!
