Here’s a hacked workaround, though I am not sure it’s a good idea to tap into the user_cache directly. I’d otherwise suggest nicely using bb_get_user() as it checks the cache first but the problem with that is it fetches ALL the data if not in the cache which is overkill. Too bad there isn’t a bb_get_user_meta($id,’metaname’) but oh well – for now replace this top section of code:

The user _must_ be in the cache at this point if his details are being displayed next to the post, right? Implying that bb_get_user would never need to use a single query.

There _is_ a bb_get_usermeta() already: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/691. It’s in the latest.
