I suspect the reason for the change is that with display names, the names of participants in IMs and group chat no longer uniquely identify them - and the usernames, which are unique, aren't available at the point where the logging of chat and IMs is done. This also has the interesting side-effect that it's incredibly difficult to figure out who actually said something just from your chat logs, because the only information in there that actually identifies them is their UUID. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
