It looks like the borrower number should be listed in the Library use section
of the patron detail page:

<kados> so nengard  ... the AnonSuggestions syspref is a classic example of the
sysprefs not making sense to people
 <kados> it says 'Set to anonymous borrowernumber to enable Anonymous
suggestions'
 <nengard> right- which i don't get
 <kados> what could be improved in that sentence to make it clear what the
purpose of it is?
 <kados> is it unclear what an anonomous suggestion would be?
 <nengard> In that sentence ... Enter borrower number 'X' to allow anonymous
purchace suggestions
 <nengard> i know what an anonymous suggestion is
 <nengard> i just have no idea what value to enter for the anonymous
borrowernumber
 <kados> ahh
 <kados> I guess it assumes the user knows there's a field called
borrowernumber
 <nengard> field where? a system preference field? a patron field?
 <nengard> that's my problem
 <nengard> kados: so where is that field?
 <kados> nengard: borrowers table
 <nengard> where is that field from the user's perspective?
 <nengard> where can they see what number to enter?
 <kados> yea, it used to show up, but we've hidden it I see
 <kados> you can see it in links
 <kados> like the 'details' tab has a borrowernumber=? 
 <kados> where ? is the borrower number
 <kados> it should be listed in the Library use section of the patron detail
page
 <kados> that's another bug :-)
 <nengard> sorry if i'm being daft - but how does that help a user setting up
this feature?
 <nengard> OH!!!
 <nengard> Thanks :)
 <nengard> will report it
