Backstory:
On every postbit/postbit_legacy I am displaying a 'Panic Button'. The Panic Button's purpose is to immediately take a user out of the forum to a 'safe' website. The website is: www.worksafeboredom.com thus you can probably understand the need to leave the site if say your boss shows up, coworker, etc. Well right now the URL for the button is Google.com just as a temp solution until I can get the custom user field working.

Plan:
I would like the Panic Button to link to the specific user's URL...and I sort of accomplished that. here's the code in my postbit_legacy:

<if condition="$post[field5]">
<a href="$post[field5]" target="_self"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/panic.gif" alt="Click to Exit Quickly!" border="0" /></a>
<else />                   
<a href="http://google.com" target="_self"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/panic.gif" alt="Click to Exit Quickly!" border="0" /></a>
</if>

field5 is my custom profile field for URL. So far so good right? Well...sorta.

as you know, and i have figured out, the custom user field changes per post, aka per user, so what's happening is each user's post contains their specific URL.

Desired Result:
What I want to have happen is that every single Panic Button (irregardless of whose post it is attached to) to attach the current user's URL.

Example: My URL is www.emptythecup.com, if I go to click on Foo's panic button I want to be taken to emptythecup.com NOT his URL of vB.org.

Does that make sense? I somehow need to qualify the $post[field5] to be specific to the logged in user...and this is what I don't know how to do

Here's the thread I originally made before I realized the problem I had created for myself Hopefully you can see the problem here and help
