Administrators have to add the extra profile fields for us to be able to use them. It's quite easy to do, but uhh, ye have to have access to several bits of the admin control panel~

ill look into it. the thing to remember is that this site is owned by a parent company. their programmers hold the complete admin toolbar and source code so we cant always enact changes right away. there a... uh... well call it a process...

I do.
Go to AdminCP > Styles > Style Manager > Edit Templates (in the dropdown) > Postbit Templates > postbit (or postbit_legacy, if we were using the old-style layout)
Then it's simply a matter of deciding where you want the info to display. If you know anything about html it's pretty easy to go hunting, but if not, the most common spot is immediately after the Post Count display.
So, to make a field appear there, copy the template into Notepad, then find this:
After, add
Replace "NAME" with the name of the field, as you want it to display in the thread, and "X" with the id number of the profile field you've just added. This can be found in the Profile Field manager, which you have already used to add the field.
Sorry, I made it a book, but it is fairly straightforward once you've done it once or twice.
