This does not return any value. The current value should be 1 and it is returning null. This new field is dealing with usergroup permissions... the same general permissions that you would check for "Can delete own posts" or "Can move own threads". If I hard-code a value of 1 to my variable, the script works correctly. I tried $canviewtwice = $usergroup[canviewtwice];, but that did not give a result either. canviewtwice is the name of the usergroup bitfield assignment.

EDIT: I found it. It was $permissions[canviewtwice]; that was needed. How stupid do I feel now?

Thanks, guys, for the assist. I am learning a LOT through this process thanks to you all!
