Modify your node.tpl file

Hi,
You need to add the proper print variable within the node.tpl file. Please see this post for all variables used within the node.tpl for Drupal 6:

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--node--node.tpl.php

and;

http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_username/6

More on the theme_username - "A string containing an HTML link to the user's page if the passed object suggests that this is a site user"

Your theme.inc file may need to be adjusted accordingly if the code provided in the link above isn't in your theme.inc file to begin with.

As always, make backups before changing code on a live site.
