 * Ok, this is pretty strange. You can see the problem live here: [http://blog.morahanvisuals.com/lowepro-flipside-sport-15l-aw-review#comments](http://blog.morahanvisuals.com/lowepro-flipside-sport-15l-aw-review#comments)
 * One of the commenters (“Jay”) on my blog post has been labeled an “**ADMIN**”—
   totally randomly and mid-conversation!
 * I checked under Users, and I’m the only user and the only admin.
 * Is this a security issue? A glitch?
 * Does WordPress have a bug reporting forum or email?

 * I think it is something to do with your theme. I just posted a reply there and
   that also shows me as ADMIN. Can you check it?

 * Yeah, now you’re an admin, too! So weird…
 * What in the theme could be doing something like that?

 * To confirm that it is the theme that outputs ADMIN, can you revert to Twenty 
   Twelve theme temporarily and see if it goes away?

 * The plot thickens…
 * When I did a Live Preview of the page, I didn’t see any “ADMIN” label, just one
   labelled me (well, Joe Morahan) as the “Post Author”. Thanks for the suggestion
   about it being related to the theme. Guess so!
 * Any clue where to fix that in the theme files?

 * Where did you download the theme from?
