It should display just fine if you use it in your FORUMHOME template then. That's where the variable is used already, so moving it around in that template should be fine. If that is NOT in your FORUMHOME template, then you need to look at when/where that template is evaled. If you look at the file index.php, you'll see those variables are not defined until the very end of the file and will not be available for any template that is evaled prior to the forumhome_complete hook.
