I am using the Filter by Author Extension in my site. The extention seems to work fine for existing authors. When I create a new author it is done via a form and PHP script which does all the proper inserts into exp_members, exp_member_data, and exp_member_homepage to create the author. It then creates a weblog entry for that user. After a successful creation of a new author if I go to the edit panel that users name does not show up in the filter by author drop down menu. Is there something I’m missing in my insert?

What you are missing is setting the value for in_authorlist to y.
