Any users who are subscribed to 'All Forums' RSS feeds seem to be showing as permanently online in the 'Currently Online' stats in the footer.

How can I prevent this from happening? Is it intentional or a bug? If it's intentional I don't like itfrown

well, its nothing new...  if its an issue, and as I said, I can envision such an issue, its probably been that way forever...

we probably need to disable our online tracking stuff for forum feeds... have opened a ticket to investigate...

OK I have done the change, I suppose that I won't see it work until the stats are collected in 15 minutes assuming that 0.25 hours is a valid update value. It might be an idea to put whether it is a whole number integer or not in the help.

Is it valid to put 0.25 for the stats update interval or does it need to be a whole integer? I have set it to 1hr again because it does not appear to work with the interval set to 0.25 hrs.

yes 0.25 should be valid...  the time gets converted to milliseconds for wp and its cron...

keep in mind that cron times wont be exact with wp...  should kick off first time after someone visits the site after the expected time...
