How to display Custom Profile Fields on index page

[Raptor]

I need to get a custom field to show on the main index page

ive tried $bbuserinfo[field5] & $post[field5] - neither of them parse

Thanks in advance

You didn't say what template you are trying to do this in, but $bbuserinfo[field5] should work if the field is actually populated. Have you tried to spit out some fields to see if anything will get printed out and to see if it is actually available in whatever template you are trying to use it in?
