Ok... I'm starting to get there.
The problem is / was / apparently has been since the beginning of the day, that for some reason, the generated value of special field "author" always resets to "test" (which actually is the admin username of this setup).
If I
1. create or edit a special page,
2. type in "John Doe" in author field and save
3. Click "page options" to verify that John Doe is still the author - he isn't. John is gone.
Instead the [whatever the admin username is] has taken credit for the article.
I've created various types of special pages: News, Articles, Stories, Reports etc. and none of them can't store any other author value than the [admin username].
Any idea what might cause this unwanted behaviour and where to switch it off?
