@Janet H Referencing the thread Forum 101 - posting, accounts, basics, and specifically post #16
"The display on the right side of the Forums page displays a list of members who are currently logged onto the forums. The moderator’s names are listed in bold in this display. If you need assistance, feel free to contact any of the moderators."
I am not seeing anything that shows a list of members that are currently logged on the forum. Is this an oversight or maybe just not turned on yet? Anyway, wanted to let you know, in case you aren't aware of it.
