 * Hi, as an admin when i create a topic in the forum and need to edit it, the author
   changes from my username to guest, I have even tried to manually change the author
   name to mine but keeps saving as guest.
    How can I fix this? thanks

 * Hey Dan,
 * Are you using the latest version? How long ago did you install it? Haven’t been
   able to replicate it myself (that ALWAYS happens ^^). Could you post here or 
   email me a link to your WP site? If also possible, include a login with administrative
   privileges so that I can edit the plugin files and find the culprit?
 * Thanks
