Comment (by 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.

 @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?

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

 After #1972, "Contact Info" will be left having only "Website" as a field,
 so further reorganization of the profile edit form may be warranted
 eventually.


 Replying to [comment:10 netweb]:
 > We can copy the `form-user-edit.php` template to the `wporg-forums`
 theme, moving this up to the "Name" section, it would also serve as a very
 quick way to add support for "moderator notes" to be added to user
 profiles in the same section.

 Please propose this in a separate ticket if you still want to explore it.
