Last Read Date? What does it mean?

[MustardSeed]

When you're in a conversation, and you scroll to the bottom of that conversations page, there is a box that shows the "last read date" for that conversation. Everyone involved in that conversation is listed there, and it shows their "last read date" (of course). When I first noticed this, I of course assumed that this meant that it was showing the last date each user opened the conversation (thus reading it). But then I noticed the date wouldn't change for me in my conversations even though I know I had opened it after the listed date (Ex: Conversation A Last Read Date says I last read the conversation Two Days Ago at 3:30 PM when I just opened it up and looked at it yesterday at 1:50). So then does this date only change when you open up a new reply, or when you send a new reply, or what...?

Hey @MustardSeed! Yeah, the "last read date" thing totally threw me off the first time I really started thinking about it haha. Yeah, the last read date indicates the last time a person opened up the conversation and there was a new message and/or send your own message, if that makes sense?

It does make sense, thank you! That's what I was starting to think it was, but I was unsure. You cleared it up, thank you.
