Hello Annie! I can help you speak English! But sorry, I am not a Gold Member.

Correction: I'll be waiting online. Thanks everyone!

You would add "be" before waiting because you are using the word "will".

I'll is a contraction of "I will", so it also counts.

Also, there wouldn't be a comma between the two sentences because there is no contraction holding the sentence together.

You could do:
I'll be waiting online. Thanks everyone!
I'll be waiting online, and thanks everyone! ("And" is a contraction because it holds the two sentences together.)

Re:Re:Looking for some friends help me to study English and Urdu!
Oh sorry! I have to fix my last post.

The only time you will be adding "be" is when the verb after it has the suffix "-ing" at the end.

For example:
I will be going to the store.
I will be sleeping later.

But if the verbs do not have ing, they don't need "be".

Examples:

I will go to the store.
I will sleep later.

There.

The only time I think "be" would not go with "-ing" is when you're meaning to "stay somewhere".

I will be at home.
I will be in school.
I will be around the restaurant after work.

In this form, "be" is used to mean you are somewhere. With the "be" and "-ing" rule, it is implying that you are doing something.

I hope this helps!
