Implement a feature to show the user’s unique personal ID number within the user center interface.
With the ID, user can know which number member a newly joined user is. During actual operations, I’ve found that users are more interested in knowing what number member they are.
AI-generated summary
The discussion Show User ID Number in Profile revolves around displaying user IDs in the user center interface. nwnuyhs suggests implementing this feature, as users are interested in knowing their member number. However, pmusaraj and pfaffman believe it can be achieved through a theme component or plugin, rather than being a core feature. The conversation also touches on the visibility of group IDs, with nathank expressing interest in making them more accessible. pfaffman suggests a workaround by adding .json to the group URL, which nathank finds helpful. As an admin, Jagster would like to easily access IDs without having to use workarounds, but is not strongly opposed to the idea. Overall, the discussion explores the potential benefits and implementation of displaying user IDs in the profile.

This can probably be done in a theme component or plugin. I’m not sure it’s beneficial to have it in core.

Right. I’m pretty sure that the user id is in the load, so a theme component can add it.
I’d quite like group IDs to be made visible in this vein - they are quite a pain to drag out, yet are quite handy at times.
Can’t you just add .json to the group url? (it’s easier to read the json of you have a plugin that formats it)
I hadn’t thought of that - is pretty easy! You’ve got all the sneaky tricks, Jay!

And the same trick would work with the user page to see that the user_id is available there (but I’m on my phone).

I don’t know if that is needed even because of fun, but why not.
But… as an admin who works mostly with iPad and the Hub I would like to get every IDs of everything easier than opening Safari and fighting with urls
