Why does the member info sometimes show "last seen," and sometimes not?

The visibility of "last seen" information for members is determined by individual privacy settings. If users have the "Show your online status" option enabled in their profile, their last seen status will be displayed. Additionally, the "Show your current activity" setting reveals what users are currently doing or their last activity. Therefore, whether this information appears or not is entirely dependent on how each user configures their privacy settings. Understanding these settings can clarify why some members' last seen status is visible while others' is not.

Depends on the user's privacy settings. I think it's whether the 'Show your online status' checkbox on the Privacy page of their profile is ticked.

As Ibix has already stated, this is controlled by your privacy settings:gmax137 said:
"Show your online status" will display when you were last seen. "Show your current activity" will also show what you are doing now, or what you were doing when you were last seen.

Thanks! I am glad I obliterated the user names in my two examples. I chose them at random, to illustrate the question.
