What was the big deal with the UserID block?
Just curious as to why it was removed, and if it's ever coming back.

What was the big deal with the UserID block?
It was removed because it was malfunctioning a lot, so they decided a username block would be much less problematic. I don't think it's coming back.

A username block is also more useful, once we have cloud lists and string CVs.
