 * We updated to WordPress 3.8.2 last night. When we bulk approve posts from the
   Bulk Actions drop down, all of the listings get assigned to a single Contributor.
   It doesn’t change the account of the person who posted the post when we do them
   individually, but when we approve multiple posts at once all the accounts change
   to a single account. This only started happening last night after updating to
   WordPress 3.8.2. Any ideas what might be causing this?

 * Looks like this was a WordPress core issue. There is a fix in 3.8.3 – Thank you
