DB fields: user_lastaction VS user_lastvisit

[V@no]

I'm just wondering, what user_lastvisit field store?
Well, obviously it store date of last visit, but how come, I had 2+ days difference with user_lastaction ?

Thats correct. Think about the two words "lastaction" and "lastvisit", maybe you will find out whats the diffrence is

Well, that's ok with me, but when I see "last action" was on 2.12.2003 10:32 and "last visit" was on 2.09.2003 18:40....that's confusing.
it's like I visited last monday, and spent 60 straight hours browsing the site???

where is the mistake in my thinking?

lastvisit is the date, a session is created for you the last time. this means the last login time, not the actual login time.
