Last visit was 20 minutes ago

Home come he manage to post a reply after 10 minutes from his last visit while he was already away!!!!?????

Last visit is not the same as last activity.

When a user's session is active, we update the last_activity column. When the user's session times out, or when they come back for the first time, we update last_visit time with the last_activity time.
 

It does look a bit odd when the sessions are so close, so perhaps we can do something being mindful of anonymous logins.

I am also seeing this in my community, for example a user last visited 33 minutes ago but posted 9 minutes ago. 

Or here's another example: 

Have a read of what Matt wrote just above your post there. As mentioned, they are not the same and not really updates at the same time. The last visited is updated when the session times out or someone logs in, which in this case was 1 hour ago

Yes, I read what @Matt wrote.

I understand the technical reason behind the behavior. I also agree with Matt that it looks odd (to say the least), and I am hoping that a better solution can be implemented. 

IMO the profile page should say "online now" until the user's session times out. I don't suppose there should be a privacy concern since we can already see "online now" in the user's hover card anyway? 

Feel free to add a suggestion for change of course

Got it, will do. 

I added my suggestion in the feedback forum:
