 * Hi,
 * I’m login under my login… however when I go to post or create page there
    s a
   drop down menu for “Post Author” under it are names of my other authors except
   mine? (plus.. I don’t remember having to select this before, it would automatically
   post under my name since I’m the one log-in… What’s going on?

 * I too recently started having this problem with WordPress 2.9.1. Every post I
   write defaults to one of my other authors (all given the role of Contributor),
   and my own name (as an Administrator) is not an option. Any help?
