I looked back to version 4.4 to 4.7.4. a found surprisingly that Drupal has never really had a last access functionality. It has had calculation code to gather such information but nothing definative. Strangely enough there has not been too much call for this information so no one has noticed.<br><br>The reason that I was getting a last access previously is because the re was another (ws_auth) module loading the database. This module was only on my 4.7.4 test site not on later versions. So what I did was create a last access routine based on hook_user to satisfy my needs. I will post a feature request on this as there may be a greater need in the future for this to be a part of the

It looks like the order of process has changed. I tried to use hook_user to place my own timestamp in the database. This did not work. It seems that all user functions are after update. <br><br>I will comeback with more information after more study of the behaviour.<br><div> </div><div>
