Discord.js embeds not showing users correctly

EDIT: Apparently it's a client-side issue so not really an issue with the code

I have an application system but the user name/tag doesn't show up right sometimes is there any way I could fix this or is it a discord issue?

It only works with some members plus it makes it a bit inconvenient to find the user that submitted the application

Sometimes it looks like this (which is wrong)

and sometimes it looks like this

I would do something like

        // Create our application, we will fill it later
        const application = new MessageEmbed()
          .setTitle("New Application")
          .setDescription(`This application was submitted by ${member}/${member.user.tag}`)
          .setColor("#ED4245");

but that feels like something very stupid to do and probably would get killed by someone who has more knowledge than me with bots 😂

TL;DR : Using approach you thought of is absolutely fine and this only happens when a user isn't available to the guild or hasn't occured to the individual seeing the channel before

Usually if the user hasn't been seen before ( condition like channel access and unavailable to that guild may also apply ) by the individual viewing the channel the ID may show as is like in your case, that is due to discord maintaining only users ever seen by the individual ( this is client side not from Discord itself) to overcome this you may just add the username of the individual at the top of the application

<member>.user.tag

As you answered yourselves! Not to worry though! That's what a smart developer would think of!

Please make sure that if the user has a nickname it's a better approach to use <@!userID>, explained here in <@userID> vs. <@!userID>, discord.js auto-parses that mention for you so in your case it's probably just one of the cases I mentioned above for which the user remains uncached at client side.

You can get the discord user id and tag the user by using

<@insert user id here>
