User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
PR for #20689
The error message displayed when the user cannot be found (eg when opening a content item when the content creator has been deleted) is not meaningful.
Keeping it simple and in line with other error messages I propose changing it to
Unable to find a user with the ID: %s

Thanks
The changed message is good.. However as suggested in this issue https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/20689 we should only show this - say if Debug is on.. As while it could be useful to administrators showing this in the frontend might not be a good idea even if the message is changed. I think the use case here is that the JUser object is being used to load things like the Usernmame/Name instead of doing direct queries.
This makes a lot more sense. Thanks!
