Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: n/a
Version of PHP: 5.2.15

Have you searched for your problem: Yes

Whenever I try to submit a news story to reply to someone in the comments on a news story, I get 10+ lines of this error above the header:

Notice: Use of undefined constant uLevel - assumed 'uLevel' in /home/"username"/public_html/news.php on line 93

Everything I was trying to submit shows up, but what is causing this error? I haven't touched the news.php file. Here is the text in the file:

Edited to add the support template! I thought I had added that originally. Sorry!

Did you bridge this with something else?  Did you update from a previous version and possibly miss some files?  One or the other is the only way I can see this happening.  The uLevel definition is done in the page setup when the user variables are loaded.  It shouldn't be possible for you to get this error.

No, I haven't bridged it with anything. I did upgrade it a while back, so it's possible that I might have missed some files.

I am having this exact problem with news, just on a different line.

http://quoth-the-warbler.org/news.php
Notice: Use of undefined constant uLevel - assumed 'uLevel' in /home/content/15/9300015/html/news.php on line 140

Is there a solution to this?

Did you see Tammy's post above? Are either of those true for you?
