Using custom member fields in forum

    I have a custom member field that I’d like to display below the usernames alongside posts on the forum. I’m wondering how to accomplish this.

    I’m running the forum through the EE template engine, so in theory I should be able to do this through {exp:member:custom_profile_data}

    However, I can’t seem to get the user id of the poster anywhere. {member_id} returns the logged in user id, not the poster id.

    I get the same issue when trying to do something else: when I add {location} to the sidebar user info it shows this of the logged in user, not the post author user.

    Is there a trick I’m missing? Thanks in advance for any tips!
