I use XMPP and Pidgin to connect to FB chat, and tonight, for the first time in my memory, some of my active users in the user list are showing up (both in the list and in conversation panes) with no "Real Name" alias; just -biglongdecimalnumber@chat.facebook.com. There doesn't seem to be any pattern; most users who are active show up as usual. It's flapped in and out several times; first spotted around 2233EDT. If anyone has a channel to Facebook Chat engineering, you might pass this along. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
