You need to get the info in order to spit it out. In your original code, you never got the info. You did a query, wrote a while loop to do something with the info from the query, but never actually did anything with it. So, there was nothing to output. Take a look at the forum.php page and how they grab the currently active users. You make a query, then go into a while loop and spit out the user info into a template, then after you get out of the while loop, you spit all that template info out into another template.
