I found a bug.
If you select the author of "I am the author", then save the article. 

And then open the editing, the author has no choice!

If you save, the author becomes a Guest.
Can be corrected?

What's New in Version 1.0.1:

• Fixed error on article author when editing the article.

Thank you!
You can make a choice of the author when editing an article?

No, it's only when creating the article.

[Roman_Bak]

Why? It's convenient? Or is there a technical reason?

[Adriano Faria]

Technical reasons, like topics to update, comments, likes, etc.

This plugin does not work properly with version 4.2.4.

In Database -> Categories, I’ve active the options “Post topic” and “Use forum for comments”.

Previously, when I create an Article, and choose another author, the system creates the topic inside the forum with the same author I chose.

Now, with version 4.2.4, when I create an article choosing a different user as the author, the article is created as if posted by that user, but the connected topic automatically generated by the system inside the forum has me as the author instead of the chosen user.
