   Just getting around to playing with bbPress after it being released as a plugin. Curious if I'm missing something but is there a way to output the reply author user role with bbp_reply_class? I'd like to be able to style the entire row for a reply if the response is coming from a moderator.

   I've had a look at bbp-includebpp-reply-template-php here:
   http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/path/bbp-includesbbp-reply-template-php/

   I looked through the following:

   bbp_get_reply_author_url
   bbp_get_reply_author_link
   bbp_get_reply_author_id
   bbp_get_reply_author_email
   bbp_get_reply_author_display_name
   bbp_get_reply_author_avatar
   bbp_get_reply_author

   It seems like you could use this one as a base for getting the role:

   There's also a specific solution suggested here:
   http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-reply-author-role

   function get_the_author_role() {
   global $wpdb, $wp_roles, $authordata;
   
   if ( !isset($wp_roles) )
   $wp_roles = new WP_Roles();
   
   foreach($wp_roles->role_names as $role => $Role) {
   $caps = $wpdb->prefix . 'capabilities';
   if (array_key_exists($role, $authordata->$caps))
   return $Role;
   }
   }
   
   function the_author_role() {
   echo get_the_author_role();
   }

   There's another topic here that discusses various ways of styling replies based on the user role:

   Let me know how it goes.
