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.

3.3.3 is better than 3.3.2 so if you are not afraid of losing manual theme file edits you may have made, do update
