$this->info['user'] would not be right if you are looking for the userid. To be honest, I'm not sure that I would use that hook location. I've played with options before and set them differently based on either usergroup or forum or userid and used hooks like fetch_forumind and search_results_start and.... others, I'm not gonna go list them all. Have you tried any other hook locations? (And, of course, look at the code around that hook to see what variable you should be using first.)
