But all of them just bring up the actual text in the welcome header rather than the contents of the custom field.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

You will need to add the variables to your welcome headers templates using the variables system. For example, <phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]" 3="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 4="sendmessage.php$session[sessionurl]"> has 4 variables with different values. If you added 5="$bbuserinfo['field5']" you could then call it from the phrase as {5}. Alternatively you can stop using phrases and write your messages directly into the templates using any variable you please.
