Users link to profile instead

I found a temporary fix, but had to customise it for my permalink structure… add this code to your functions.php:

// change WP author link to bbPress user link
function change_author_permalink_base() {
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = "user";
}
add_filter( 'init', 'change_author_permalink_base' );

For my forum, I changed it to this (because my base URL is different to standard):

// change WP author link to bbPress user link
function change_author_permalink_base() {
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->author_base = "discussion-forum/users";
}
add_filter( 'init', 'change_author_permalink_base' );

It would be nice if there was a setting in the plugin options where we could choose to link to Author or User page.
