Hello! I've been working on a layout design, and came across an issue that I can't seem to find any answers on. Can custom fields only be used on user profiles and mini profiles? The idea I had involved using them in the header of the page, beneath the banner... But when I tried that, the custom field values were only visible when I was on my user profile. Is there some workaround to this?

Here's what I mean--

The top version is what it shows on every page except user profile. The bottom is what it shows on userprofile, but I want it to show everywhere.

Here's the code I used for it:


<div style="float:right;font-size:10px;";>LV.{foreach $[user.custom_field]}{if $[user.custom_field.name] == "Level"}$[user.custom_field.value]{/if}{/foreach}</div>

perhaps i am faint glimmer —
i believe proboards doesn't load the profile information of users on every page. even in threads, they only load the use information of the people participating in the thread, which makes a lot of skinning ideas involving profile fields hard. the only exception to this is the profile info of the current user, so if you change user to current_user ($[current_user.custom_field], $[current_user.custom_field.value], etc), you could show that user their specific information in your banner on every page.
