 * I am hoping someone can help me with this.
 * Is there a way to enable this plugin so instead of the box where you type in 
   the author’s names I can just have another user drop down menu under the current
   one where I can pick a second author for a post? Essentially, how a new post 
   would be without this plugin enabled?

 * Not currently. What’s wrong with the auto-suggest?

 * When I enable it and I go into edit a regular contributor and add a co-author
   its adds Admin to everyone of his/her posts.

 * Interesting… We’d love more details on what your setup is like. Can you [read this piece on writing bug reports](http://jetpack.me/2011/11/18/how-to-write-a-great-bug-report/)
   and give us more information on your setup? Screenshots, the plugins you’re running,
   and so on would be great details.

 * sure I can try. A version of the plugin that would conceivably sell, would be
   to create one that basically adds a second box under the WP author box with a
   drop down menu of author’s. At least I’d buy it.

 * Here’s a list of plugins;
 * AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget
    BackupBuddy Co-Authors Plus Disqus Comment
   System Disqus Widget Exclude Pages from Navigation Front Page Category Google
   XML Sitemaps HTML in Author Bio Image Widget Just Another Author Widget NextGEN
   Gallery NextGEN Scroll Gallery No category parents Outbrain Page Links To Recent
   Category Posts Widget Widget Context Woo Recent Posts WP-PageNavi
 * I can create a post but it works with new authors just with preexisting author’s
   when I go into to add a second author, admin automatically is assigned as the
   other author and to any of that author’s other posts.

 * Screenshots? Also, does this still happen when you deactivate all of your plugins
   other than Co-Authors Plus?
