It seem that your wish was quickly implemented. Not only the name of the author is back, but we also have his picture!

>I was just looking at the "What's New" button and saw a buncha file posts that looked intriguing and then realized that I had no idea who had posted what.

>I have brought this up before: the pedigree of a file is important to me at first glance. I shouldn't have to go into a subscreen to see who posted what -- it's inconvenient and an insult to the author who should receive 1st page banner recognition for his or her contribution.

>When is someone in UT management going to buy a clue about running a service site? This is ridiculous; the new format for Files and "What's New" makes it look like the contributions appeared out of the blue. This is an extreme disservice to the author and user. If I spent hours and hours on something that I distribute for free, that ultimately benefits the UT in recognition, then I want the goddamn author credit along with the file name.
