Guild member joining/leaving notification shows Character Name

My settings are set to Prefer User ID, and the guild roster displays User ID, but when a member joins or leaves the guild the notification at the top right corner of the screen displays the character name. I can't find any settings or addons that would do this. Does anyone know how to change this to show User ID?

✭✭✭✭✭That is confusing since the guild roster shows User ID. We see one name in the notification but have no idea who they are in the guild roster, unless we mouse over every User ID looking for that character name.PCNA1 -
decaffeinated✭✭✭It's been this way since launch. Probably not going to change.
Yes it is confusing, and as a GM I hate it. But no hope of getting it fixed after the cuts.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I just noticed, in the Roster Activity Log where it keeps track of who joined or left or was promoted or demoted, etc... there it's all by User ID.Edited by SilverBride on 11 August 2026 00:28PCNA0 -

Let's talk about why addons don't use History logs to display joins: it can take up to an HOUR for leave/joins to show in history.
The variables the API passes when a player ACTUALLY joins are Character Name only,.0
