You can always add a user system to a forum. The easiest way to do this would be to create a user system first, then build a forum based on that. If you don't know how to make a user system, then there are a lot of tutorials around on creating one.

And if i'm correct, what you're saying is that your forum, when someone makes a new topic or reply, it's their ID that is stored in the table not their username right? If so, then to show their username, you need to do the following:

1. Select from the users table where id matches the user_id in the forum table.
2. Show their username

It's simple as.
