Structured data for author

[2002faq]

I noticed that on Articles and other location on the site the author is presented in the following manner

"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "steve k.",
"image": "//uploads.bmw2002faq.com/monthly_2018_11/imported-photo-32029.thumb.jpeg.6f0c7eb8386d28827d9d1b2213d3e17e.jpeg",
"url": "https://www.bmw2002faq.com/profile/32029-steve-k/"
},

On the topics, the author of the topic is only presented as

"author": {
"url": "https://www.bmw2002faq.com/profile/32029-steve-k/"
},

Is it possible to add other information and make it look the same as in the Pages application so that an author is always has @type and name

Google Structured Data testing tool reports lack of "name" as an Error.

"publisher" data is also missing.

Example test

Thank you,

I believe this has been changed for 4.5 already.

That will be great! I also noticed that users that are no longer part of the forum and their posts are listed from Guest Anonymous have author set

"author": {
	"@type": "Person",
	"name": "Anonymous",
	"image": "https://www.bmw2002faq.com/uploads/css/set_resources_34/84c1e40ea0e759e3f1505eb1788ddf3c_default_photo.png"
	},
