Re: [Freeciv] restarting a saved game

I don't want to step on any toes, but I have always found this inconvient...
If I haven't played a game for a while, I always have to go back to the server
window to list the users and see what the forgotten human name that I picked
long ago is.  It's not a big deal but it is an extra step, an inturruption to
the normal flow.  It may not be important enough to make changes for, but the
original comment just struck a chord with me, causing me to de-lurk.
