Description Vadim Peretokin 2009-03-01 17:01:37 UTC 
Currently, the log viewer only displays the users ID for the list of contacts. This is problematic though - because I'm used to seeing the users name always, not their ID (all I use it for is adding them, then I forget about it).

It would be nice to have the log viewer display it as

currentname (userid)

Such that this works on non-unique name/id protocols and is easier to understand for the user.
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-06-10 12:42:23 UTC 
I agree.
Comment 2 Nick Richards 2010-06-03 13:55:33 UTC 
Would it also be OK to display the userid on hover over the currentname?
