There seems to be something funky going on in author.php. 

If you remove the include for author.php and precede the above 'if' 
with:

  $Author = $_POST['author'];

then all looks good here. However, this won't preserve the change of 
author to "userid-Kathryn" for subsequent edits. Not sure whether this 
is a requirement or not.
