Highlight houses you have already been into

It would be nice to have something that tells you have already been in some houses, something like green text highlight or like that don't you think?

Jason has stated that he likes the way it works, forcing you to either remember the name, or write it down on a little scratch of paper, making your desk/play area look like some kind of psychotic killers after a few hours of gameplay smile

Re: Highlight houses you have already been into

I've been considering coding this up actually.  Unfortunately what you get from the server to identify users literally is just the name string, there is nothing else to go on.  The user ID's that come in on the house listing for everyone else just shows up as "1" on client end, so you can't uniquely identify anyone in the game for real.

Essentially if the player you visited died and someone else was now using the name, you'd have a hard time being 100% sure they hadn't been replaced.  The only thing I can think of here is comparing the entry stats or value and looking for some reasonable tolerance.
