Description
not sure if this is a bug...
when the admin clicks 'promotes' to give the answer... at the submit question form... the username at the Authoring information is the admins, but it should be the username that submitted the original question. Therefore, when a user goes to tracker, the original author is listed beside that topic.
:)
#1
The author of the _answer_ is the admin. The question part of the node stores the name of the questioner so it can be displayed, but since the real content comes from the admin, that's who authors it.
Also, then you get into sites that allow anonymous users to submit questions, that gets messy.
#2
consider that you just went to the site and you see a 'ask a question'. You write a question and submit it for approval.
then next time you login, you go to the 'my account' then 'track' to see if you question was approved and online, but only to find nothing. Next you click the 'resent posts' at the main menu and see a bunch of posts from the admin. There seems to be no way for the user to find the original question that was posted with the answer. That reason is because of the author is the admin's name and not the user's name. By default it should be the other way around
