Last visited feature disappeared?

[KroozNut]

Anybody else notice that the 'last visited' feature that used to show up when hovering over a user's profile picture seems to have disappeared, or is it just me?

If you take a look through this forum you will find a number of threads/posts of those complaining about others being able to follow them on the board.

Must be just the last day or so.  EM

Yes, but the 'last visited' feature continued long after those threads died, and has only very recently disappeared.

Yup... just noticed it today.

I don’t really understand the purpose of that feature

It was nice to know, when someone posted a question, and you answered, if they ever returned to gather the information.

 

What I didn't like was the specific "where I am now" information.  I don't particularly care that someone knows the last time I was online was yesterday at 11:00.

Thanks for that.  I'm posting to tell you that I returned to gather the information.  

 

Speaking only for myself, if someone doesn't have the courtesy to post a thanks or, now, with the upgrade, to simply click the "thanks" icon, I have no desire to go chasing after where they've been.

I often use it when someone drags up an old thread (years old...) and asks the OP of the thread a question.  You could see that the OP hadn't been logged into the forum for years, and tell the questioner that.  EM
