2) that user does not have any other activity during that time, since then he would be shown as currently online anyway.

I wonder how you would even tell if this addon works if you don't wait at least as long as your session timout. (But keep in mind there needs to be activity on your board for the cron to run, as explained above).

I think you should improve it to easy for users. According to me, it's rather complex for using and controlling. May be I set session time out higher than you thus I got result not as my expectation.
It is possible to have a radio button on each user profile so when we can update ( turn on/off status) to show user online immediately ? without waiting for Cron runs.

or other way to show user that don't need to wait them must not login once to forum ? ...etc

Just my ideas.

Thanks for your new version and I will update next versions and hope it will better than previous.
