Comment (by netweb):

 Replying to [comment:13 coffee2code]:
 > I applied [attachment:meta-1950.patch] as the current approach for this.
 However, `bbp_displayed_user_field()` doesn't reliably show the custom
 title, so I had to get it more directly via `get_user_option()`. I haven't
 investigated this too much yet.

 Looks like `bbp_sanitize_displayed_user_field()` might be the cause here
 in ''not playing well with other user custom options'', will need more
 investigation.

 > @netweb: I like the simplicity of leveraging
 `wp_get_user_contact_methods()` for adding and handling the field for the
 custom title from your patch, but it's unsemantic as the custom title
 isn't a contact method. Maybe if there was an identical but generic way
 for dealing with additional user fields?

 Sounds good :+1, maybe in WP core, available for any plugin or theme to
 extend?

 > I also agree with @SergeyBiryukov in that the custom title shouldn't
 fall under "Contact Info", though "Name" isn't a perfect fit either.

 Cool, that was where `bbp_displayed_user_field()` put them all ;)
