As of last night my jaba account on messeges is very buggy. it keeps switching from showing my facebook friends names to numbers, then a few minutes it shows my facebook on line friends again but then switches to showing numbers so I have no idea who is on line from facebook
Hi,
The Jabber Account you have (Possibly GoogleTalk ID or Facebook or other Jabber ID) will "read" the Buddy list you have from the Jabber server the Buddies are on (in this case Facebook).
The Facebook server will be the place that is sending Numbers in place of IDs
The iChat/Messages software is the bit that joins that up with your Address Book/Contact app and lists the persons "Real Name" in the Buddy list.
If a Buddy is not in your Address Book (Contacts) then the Buddy list should show the Jabber ID (or AIM Screen Name or Yahoo ID).
Technically this is a privacy issue as the numbers are more than likely the actual registration number that was generated when they registered and not designed to be public.
People should be complaining to Facebook.

I was hoping this would be taken care of quickly on Facebook's end but no such luck! Still having issues.
HI,
I would recommending finding a thread at Facebook that is already complaining about this or find a "Report an Issue" page at Facebook.

Hi,
I have been away for a few days and have seen nothing on the threads I have been catching up on since coming on line today.
