The requestor shows up on the Reply screen at the bottom (this message will be sent to). I know it doesn't show up on the comments screen, but if they're commenting in the ticket, which never makes it to the requestor do they 'need' to know the requestor's name? :)<BR>
<BR>
Just a thought.<BR>

OK, thanks a lot.<BR>
I use 3.8.1 and will look into how this can be applied to it.<BR>
The helpdesk came-up with another ticketing-system ("Support Trio"),<BR>
which barely passes as "useful" next to RT3 - but that is its only<BR>
notable feature.<BR>
It displays the name of the requestor in the top right corner of the<BR>
reply/comment page...<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
