I've been having this problem for some time now, and and on every map I've made. For some reason, when I go to edit my map it no longer acknowledges me as author and leave the author name completely blank. I spent hours busting my butt on these maps- for what, to not be able to attach my name to it??!! If someone knows how to fix this problem, please tell me. I feel I can't publish my maps because none of them will acknowledge me as the author. >>Thanks to GoodWhaleSushi who answered my question. I saved my map while logged in and that solved my problem. Whew.<<
That happens to me some times but it only happens when I am forging and attempt to save the map in a party. Try saving the map when nobody is in your party so it knows who to acknowledge as the author.
