whoops
($logged[userlevel] !==6) as opposed to (!$logged[userlevel] == 6)
($logged[userlevel] !==6) as opposed to (!$logged[userlevel] == 6)

@Diabloblizz see the "!" means not so if(!$logged[userlevel] == 6) means if the user is not level 6

1) It goes with our user system
2) You have test it
3) It works

Also, to remove the slashes replace:
With:
Tada, no more 's!
Code
$message = $_POST[msg]; //message
With:
Code
$message = stripslashes($_POST[msg]); //message
Tada, no more 's!

Code
if($logged[username] && $logged[level] !== 6){ //check if logged in and admin
echo "You Are Not An Admin!"; //the person is not an admin
echo "You Are Not An Admin!"; //the person is not an admin
Yes, admin level is 6, but if you have your user on 6 then you'll show them the NOT A ADMIN page.

Also!
where ever you see:
$logged[level]
replace with:
$logged[userlevel]
where ever you see:
Code
$logged[level]
replace with:
Code
$logged[userlevel]

Find:
while($r = mysql_fetch_array($getusers)){ //lets repeat for each email found
mail($r[email], $title, $message, $headers); //send mail to user
echo "<a href="history.go(-1)">Go Back</a>Email Sent!"; //success!
} //end while
Replace With:
while($r = mysql_fetch_array($getusers)){ //lets repeat for each email found
mail($r[email], $title, $message, $headers); //send mail to user
} //end while
echo "<a href="history.go(-1)">Go Back</a>Email Sent!"; //success!
the second one find:
$message = nl2br($_POST[msg]); //message
Replace With:
$message = $_POST[msg]; //message
For the RMB usersystem level 6 is admin and thats what i have on there.

Three problems I have found in this code:
1. when you send the message I get this:
Thats 10 - I have 10 members, so if I have 1000 members, that will show up 1000 times :|.
2. When you do a space (enter) in the message I get:
The <br />'s. Thats not good.
3. The one above this comment.
1. when you send the message I get this:
Code
Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!Go BackEmail Sent!
Thats 10 - I have 10 members, so if I have 1000 members, that will show up 1000 times :|.
2. When you do a space (enter) in the message I get:
Code
If you are seeing this message, and are not a admin / mod - you shouldn't be registered. Your ACCOUNT has been banned.<br />
<br />
KIDDING! This is a mass email, and I am trying it out!

This does not work for me. Shouldn't:
Shouldn't the 6 be a 2 because 6 = admin and 2 = member.
I say this because after words you say that the user is NOT a admin, which they are if they're user level is 6. I never tried fixing it because I edited for my use.
Isn't this right?
