Subject: Re: Default "Author" when replying to a log entry 

As you can see, on this forum the author for replies is correct. This is done via the config option:

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

what is the default value for "Author" when replying to a log entry ?  I now see that for each reply to a log entry, the value of "Author" is set to the value of the author of the original entry - this makes it very hard to see which user has replied to a particular log entry, especially when users start replying to replies etc.

This is with elog 3.1.4-3 on CentOS 7
