I am using pidgin on my home network with ejabberd as the server. In

talking to, just in my window. However, the same thing happens in
reverse on the receiving end. Their userid appears with the number in
their window.
Is there a way to stop this? So that just "Robert@server" appears in my
conversation window?
The number you're seeing, I believe, is an automatically-generated
resource ID for your XMPP client connection since you didn't specify
one. It's there so that you can login from multiple locations
simultaneously; you can manually set it to whatever you want in the
Accounts > Modify ... dialog. (It's usually chosen to be the name of
your client, or the location of where you're connecting from.)
If you want your name to show up as something else entirely, then as was
said, go ahead and change your alias for that account.

A good edge is good for nothing, if it has nothing to cut.
