Yeah, the issue is that the forum displays use data from the forum and thread tables, and it only includes the username and userid. I think that's why there is no "markup" for user names on those pages.

In the case of the threads displayed in forumdisplay, you could use a plugin on hook forumdisplay_query to add a JOIN of the userfield table to get field12, but you can only do it for either the thread starter or the last poster (since I believe you can only JOIN each table once). Otherwise you'd need to do separate queries which isn't difficult, but will add one query per thread displayed (or per user, if you figure out a way to cache the results).

For forumhome, same issue except I believe the information comes from the forum cache (so I don't think there's a hook to do a JOIN like in the forumdisplay case).
