why is the post footer showing %author-linked% rather than the Author. I've used this elsewhere and it works fine

try %author-link% instead of %author-linked%

Use %author-posts-link% in your version 3.3.2. The old %author-linked% was removed when all the new author post info items were introduced, I put it back in in 3.3.3 for legacy reasons

Or use what Juggledad posted above in the same second . They output different things, see Theme Options -> Post Info Items

is upgrading to 3.3.3 the best option?

For this specific issue, you shouldn't need to. Read the above posts again

I realise I don't NEED to and I understand the answers in the posts but Upgrading is usually a good thing right?? - I have several sites using your skin and I just figured if I upgraded them all the prob would just go away.
