 * I am my site’s admin
 * My Admin panel’s Manage Posts page is for some reason attributing my posts to
   the latest member to register. (actually – the latest user registered as a subscriber,
   i changed his role to author)
 * why does my admin panel keep attributing this author to my posts?

 * I’d try turning off your plugins and seeing if this still occurs. May have one
   in there mucking something up.

 * Yeah I have this problem with pages. Set up my blog and created a few new pages.
   The owner of these pages is listed as admin.
 * Then I created a new user, let’s say they’re called bob, and gave them administrator
   rights. Now if I log in as admin and create a new page the page owner is set 
   to bob. On the new page creation page there is a drop down menu to set the author.
   This has only one entry – bob.
 * New posts are owned by the correct author though.
 * I have no plugins installed.

 * Try making some change to your admin in the Users tab. I think it may be related
   to this problem:
