What makes a current users or live user?

Made a page request in the last 5 minutes / 10 minutes?

What is the time interval for a user session to timeout and no longer be live?

After the latest update, visitors will be considered live as long as a page is open in their browser. Note that after a minute (or maybe more) of inactivity, a visitor will be considered idle. You can see the idle icon in the live panel, (the small panel on the left)

Ok, so that's why there's so many visitors that looks stuck at my site? Some people (actually a lot of people) have been there for more than 12 hrs... personally I liked the former way you did it much better - it's just confusing to see people there when they actually not paying attention to your site. I really hope you will do something about this :)

So, everyone looking at the 25min podcast is idle??

Isn't this going to completely throw off realistic time on page calculations?
