   Hi,

   I've just checked out 3.3 beta 2, and much to my dismay my pet bug looks like it is still not closed.

   http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16854

   In summary, specifying multiple authors to exclude in custom queries does not work.
   The offending line is 2282 of query.php $q['author'] =(string)absint($q['author'][1]);

   Unfortunately I have a site that I have to manually patch before I upgrade each time as it relies on this behavior being fixed.

   Is there any chance of getting this fixed in 3.3? What can I do to help (even if it is for a future version)? There is a patch attached to the bug, but its doubtless bitrotted a little. I'd be more than happy to work up a new patch. There's also the related enhancement of allowing arrays for this query parameter (or new paramters author_in and author_not_in) which would be consistent with the rest of the api.

   Also the documentation includes an example which doesn't work.

   But you should put further comments to this issue in that trac ticket, NOT here. :)
