What appears on RecentChanges, a question mark?

You need to set $_POST['author'] before including scripts/author.php (it  
normally is set before the progam starts...).

Otherwise, set the global $AuthorLink variable to "[[~$Author]]" before  
calling PostRecentChanges().

You can read author.php to see how it's processed.
