It's been 18 months since @Jenny Millman said that it's in beta.  Has it reached the cloud version?  Do we need to do something to enable it?

Hooray! Looking forward to seeing the solution - thanks for the update, Jenny!

Hi all,

You'll be pleased to hear that we've started work on this suggestion! It'll be coming out in our 6.4 release - you can download the beta now.

Thanks

Would be nice to have that simple but useful improvement.

I'll go ahead and suggest a multi-line, vertical list of profile-pic:username pairs for each edit instead of the current, single-line, horizontal list of profile-pics for each edit. Seems like it'd be pretty simple to do with a nested table.
Individual edits may now take up more vertical space if there are multiple editors, but that's what scrollbars are for.

If that's too hard, then let administrators change users' profile pictures so we can at least force them to be distinct.

Adam: Thank you for jumping in on this issue. It is a really big problem and annoyance for our largest user group. Even if there was a way to toggle it on/off would be a massive improvement. Thank you

Adam: Can you share any updates from your discussions? This is a debilitating UX change - I'm really hoping Atlassian is able to help us out. Thanks!

Hi davow, yes we are listening and have been having discussions regarding how we can improve this.

Atlassian...are you listening?  You have made a bad design decision. Can this be fixed please?

We are in the process of upgrading to v6.2 and I am dismayed to learn that page history no longer displays user names. My team reviews page histories many times a day to learn more about who is using and maintaining pages. Hovering over avatars is totally inefficient UX.
