Actually, I figured out when in the felfunctions the “member” capability was being set (you may already know this) – line 36

I thought that maybe the globals should be changed to

global $bb_current_user;

instead of

global $current_user;

That seemed to work when I was posting in wordpress as an admin, but I just tried posting with another user account and got an SQL error, so no dice. I have some other stuff to work on right now, but will come back to this later. Maybe the global $bb_current_user needs to be set to the $current_user instead of doing

bb_set_current_user( $current_user->ID );

?
