OK... I dont think the above solution is a very good solution. Not that I dont appreciate it because I do.

It works...... I guess.... but it gives the usergroups without permission a raw error screen like a php line error screen. That doesn't seem to be a very slick way to handle this.

I was hoping I could set other usergroups to be just not able to post like it is for unregistered users etc.

When a unregistered user sees the shoutbox it looks normal, no errors or anything yet there is no "submit" button or text entry field so they can't post. Couldn't we make it to where we could set other usergroups to get this same treatment?

Thank you in advance for your help.
