Unrelated to your post, Pm, but I want to continue the thread...

The problem is that $Author is empty on entry to author.php - obviously 
I'm entering an author value in the form's author field. (Since, $Author 
is set to $AuthId when logged in, this is not an issue in that case.)

So, my question is: where does fox.php expect $Author to be set to the 
value from the form, $_POST['author']?
