Trilo,
I had the ???'s displaying last night on my friends list for quite
awhile, and I have never had a Display Names capable viewer even
installed. The version 1.xx viewer I use predates by several months,
and I am posting to let anyone know that the problem is not "only
appears to be happening on Display Names capable viewers".

It's not you, it's been happening to others. A lot.
Before Christmas it happened much less frequently, but since then
the phenomenon's been occurring at least once a day. Sometimes
they're ??? at login, sometimes they show properly at first and then
flip to ??? on their own. Sometimes the ???'s remain throughout the
session, and sometimes they flip back to show the correct names. It
happens regardless of whether the user has a Display Name set or not.
I've also noticed that if someone with a ??? name types an action in
group chat (line starting with /me) it displays their user
name. Also, sometimes, if you look up the profile of a person
showing ??? it shows the correct name on the profile. As far as I
can tell, it's a server-side condition that only appears to be
happening on Display Names capable viewers.

....Last night I was using the 2.5 beta I had just built from the
weekend's changes, and this odd thing happened...
I logged in. My friends list showed ???. (Odd, the pictures load
OK, but not the names.) I had been logged in about 15 minutes.
Then I got an IM from Grumpity Productengine. So far as I know, I
don't know Grumpity. I assumed it was someone from this list. The
text of the message was something like, "Hi. I was between
Highland and La Brea on Franklin, so I thought of you." This
message is significant to me, but I don't know how any
Productengines would know that.
So, I started having a conversation with Grumpity, trying to hide
my embarrassment about not really knowing who it was.
After two or three minutes, I noticed that Grumpity was now
???. After a bit of conversation, I finally figured out I was
talking to a friend named Aphrodite Tagore. After ten minutes
more, the ??? changed to Aphrodite Tagore and all was more or less
normal (snafu 8-).
No, I do not have a repro. No, I was not stoned beyond oblivion.
Just reporting on the off chance that someone will find the
information useful for debugging some display name problem or something.

ponzu
