Problem with author transfer

I have over 100 authors on my site, but on the drop down, only the first 19, in database order, are listed. I never need to change to those though, so it’s not too helpful right now. Any way to increase the amount of authors listed?

Thanks,
Ren

You are referring to the multiedit dropdown?

I bet I am! If that’s the dropdown at the bottom of the “articles” list page that allows you to edit multiple fields, then I am. It’s the one that lets you change the comments, author, category 1 and 2, section and status.

The only authors that appear in the dropdown are those whom do not have the “Privileges” of “None” or “Designer”, as they are not able to compose articles anyway (without modifying core files). Would that explain the discrepancy?

Thanks! that explains it. I’ll either change all the nones to freelance or see if I can find it in the code and add the none permission to the list.
