Visible profile fields

This appears to be a bit of a problem here, as there are others wondering why this is not a core function.
I am about to launch a forum for a school class. I need forum members to be able to see and recognise both the parent’s names and their child’s (it is not always obvious who sired which sprog).
I have set up a Child field in the extended profile, but I need that to be immediately available and visible along with the parent’s name, i.e.
Cuthbert Longstocking | Pippi Longstocking

Any help out there (before BuddyPress improves itself)?

The forum page is here: Forum

And – BuddyPress – is there any way you could maybe get rid of the HTML formatting tags and display the text properly?!

You can get a profile field value like so:
```
$child = xprofile_get_field_data( 'child', $user_id );

if ( ! empty( $child ) ) 
    echo $child; 
```
Getting the $user_id and changing the layout are both questions specific to bbPress and best asked on their forums.

Thanks for that… but I really am new to this open source forum stuff.
(Plus dealing with upgrading to W10 and Office over past few days, so brain is a bit fried).
Um… in which CSS file do I put the code?
