I have this on my board, it's a nice feature.

Another Demo

You could enhance it by adding a link to the Who's Online page.

Code:

<!-- Forum Stats in Header Template -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
 <td>
  <div align="left"><span class="smallfont">| <b>Discussions:</b> $totalthreads | <b>Messages:</b> $totalposts | <b>Members: </b>$numbermembers | <b>Online: </b><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$totalonline</a> </b> | <b>Newest :</b> <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$newuserid"><b>$newusername</b></a> (Welcome!)
