Incorrect "Last Online" times

[Curtis@HeroesofTalon]

I've noticed something over the past week and I couldn't see any topics on it in the recent help and tips sections, so I thought I'd make my own.

What I've noticed is essentially large portions of my friends list will have the same "Last Online" times, when I know they weren't all online around the time it says. They all seem to stay consistent with each other, like some kind of glitch. However, it doesn't seem to affect everyone on the list, as some are longer or shorter than the time for the "Last Online" of the majority of people. Also, some people have a default ? avatar and no last online time, despite not having a private profile or something along those lines.

It might not make much sense, but I've put a link to a screenshot below to show what I mean:

Has anyone else had this problem recently?

That may be so, but I'd rather post about it in this 2 year old thread so when people search for it they can see that even after 2 years steam still doesn't care. oh yeah btw problem still persists. see ya next year!

How is this still a problem..?
I get it several times EVERY WEEK

I still get it.

I have the same problem except that the time on the friend list matches that on their profile and I know its not right because they sent me a message 2.5 hours ago despite "last online" 17.5 hours ago. It's frustrating.

I have seen this issue pop up a few times. But I also have this issue: a friend goes offline but it says they were offline a much longer time. I played a game with a friend a couole hoirs ago. They've been online, and just went offline a couole minutes ago but it says he was last online 18 hours ago..

Expecting this feature to start working is like expecting Valve to start giving a schit...
And what's with this stupid censorship anyway?

The filter is there for a reason, so don't attempt to bypass it.
