    What do you mean by between the two of you? How would the chat identify it? You don't even have chat privileges right now...?

If we assume you @-replied to the user you had a conversation with you can use normal search on chat (I took a conversation you had with a user named @ShaniGoriwal at that time as an example).

Follow these steps to get to this result:

  • Visit https://chat.stackoverflow.com/
  • In the right top corner enter the user you had the conversation with in the search box and hit enter
  • In the search result page enter your current username in the when said by box
  • click search again
  • Click newest
  • navigate to the last page using the paging controls at the bottom (if there are more then 50 results)
  • the last message on that page is your first interaction with that user

Notice that your previous username is recorded in the transcript.

  • I spend hours trying to find this. Good thing it is kept separate, which makes it easier to search and track. Thanks for the answer!
