Answer: Firstly you need to have set up a custom profile field. In your admin cp goto 'User Profile Fields > Modify'.

Hover your mouse over the edit link for the custom profile field you want to be displayed in your postbit. The link in the status bar should be like:

profilefield.php?action=edit&profilefieldid=5

Note the profilefieldid.

Then in your postbit template insert "$post[fieldx]" where 'x' is the profilefieldid of the profile field you want displayed.
