One @username being expanded to somebody else's friendly name
My account and display names are both dblume. Another account's name is dblumebuddy, and her display name is "karma medic."
Of those who have friended both of us, if they type @dblume, plurk expands the username to the display name, "karma medic", not mine, "dblume".
This probably occurs for everybody who friends two people with that relationship, such as amix and amixtreme. (They would not be able to say amix anymore.)

I’m not too bothered

Inappropriate?Interesting case in point: This plurk's 9th reply renders differently as a single page, and within a timeline, both wrong. http://www.plurk.com/p/9ecc0
It should say, "pastilla says thank you to dblume and karma medic"
In the single plurk page (as you can verify from my link above), it renders as, "pastilla says thank you to karmamedic and dblumebuddy"
Error: karmamedic is dblumebuddy. @dblume should have expanded to me, "dblume" not "karmamedic". @dblumebuddy should have expanded to "karma medic", or, they both should not have expanded, leaving "dblume and dblumebuddy"
But, when viewed from plurk at http://www.plurk.com/dblume (you have to scroll all the way back to Dec 01 2008), the reply renders as:
"pastilla says thank you to karmamedic and karma medic"
That's not right either! C'mon. There's no way to refer to me? At all? No "dblume" anymore?
I’m amused

Inappropriate?This should be fixed and will be out in the next deployment.

Inappropriate?Thanks! You guys rock. FWIW, you're not the only company I annoy that technical complaints. I did the same to librarything when they started serving straight HTML (error messages) from their feed url. Things like that most customers ignore, easily: So what if updates don't come in. Who really notices? But I do! And when you fix stuff like this, it just makes me a stronger advocate for you.
I’m thankful
