Not much help here on this one, but unless someone points it out right away here for you, try checking out some of the plugins that have been written that have to do with post author or profiles. I am sure Ardentfrost might have something in his memberlist or private message plugins that does this. As well, you can check out /bb-includes/template-functions.php for a list of functions that can be called. It has to be in there somewhere!
