The word I think you're looking for is "who", not "ho". 

This is not a "chat" system. It's a discussion group. You're posting messages that will be read by other people whenever they next log in. Our community is spread across the world. There are usually a few people logged in at any given moment, but you shouldn't expect to find a particular person online at any specific time. If you want a private discussion with somebody try sending them a PersonalMail by clicking on their avatar to show their profile.

If you click on the "Members" button on the top of the screen, it will tell you a couple of other people logged in, and a count of how many total people are logged in.  For instance, right now it shows

Angie, cootertwo and 19 others are online now — just like you.

It won't always show the same people each time you click on Members.

I just clicked to refresh that screen and it showed the following.

Angie and 20 others are online now — just like you.

ScottE -- Member (always) & Moderator (when needed)

Personally, I wish that on the members page, where it says something like

"mudbugnla and 17 others are online now — just like you. "

that you could actually click online now, and see who else is online.
