Jabber doesn't show names in message notification, only user ID!

You receive message, first you see yellow window with Author name and part of text ... then yellow window is minimazing into the task manager, and there you see again Author name - part of text ... you click on it, and you are in conversations.

But why should I see in that yellow windows: 12564188@jabber.com: Hi, how are you? instead Jack: Hi, how are you?

Isn't possible to view first and second name || nick || or at last ID?

It is quite unlogical, when i had Jack in contacts, and when I receive message, i see some ID, which is telling nothing.

Thank you for some solution!

that might be Jack, the deposed prince of nicaragua asking for your help securing his inheritance. u lucky bastard...

but seriously ignore it, best advice i can give

mhm... click on your phonebook (contacts) and there on the top bar (all contacts) and there on preferences/settings.
and there should be the first field "show names" where you can choose "nicknames".

I maybe wrote it bad. I mean when you receive message, first you see yellow window with Author name and part of text ... then yellow window is minimazing into the task manager, and there you see again Author name - part of text ... you click on it, and you are in conversations.

But why should I see in that yellow windows: 12564188@jabber.com: Hi, how are you? instead Jack: Hi, how are you?

unfortunately don't think that's possible at the moment.. you should open a bug on bugzilla, since indeed this should be the normal behavior

I have a (i think) similiar problem.

Don't know how to explain it properly so i use an example:

In Conversations I open a saved Conversation from ICQ, the task says "Chat-Sarah". Now when i'm in a conversation (ICQ running) it just says "Chat-84...( the Contacts ICQ number).

So when i have multiple chats running i can't see which task belongs to which Contact from the Dashboard.

Choosing Nicknames first in Contact List didn't help.

Yes, it is the same problem.
