I feel the same way. On the previous platform we knew if someone was on or when they logged in last. (I think - at least we knew when they were present.) It would be so helpful to know when newbies were on the site last.
I'll see what can be done to improve this. I agree it can be misleading if saving login information is causing last login to seem forever ago. I suspect it has something to do with using single sign-on though I also wonder in some cases if it has to do with ad-blockers as they can block certain events from being recorded, we wouldn't be able to do anything to improve that. I appreciate the feedback.
If you look at someone's activity tab in their profile (Yours) you can see when they were last active. For the people who use reply by email almost exclusively, you won't see them as logged in as a reply by email doesn't count as a login so you'd have to look at the activity tab. I know it's another two steps more than looking at the hover-card though that still is off by one day.
For newbies, it seems that their last login dates appear to update more frequently. Perhaps because they may not save login information at first? I don't remember anything on the elgg community about last login but I do remember the "online" function which wasn't completely accurate as it would still show you online even if you had been offline for ~15ish minutes. We didn't have reply by email and many other functionalities that we do now with this community.
