Is there a PHP hook that I can use to filter the member's display name? I need to display a different name based on their role.

I figured it out after scouring through your code. Found the following filters. For anyone interested, here is my implementation inside my class.
add_filter( 'wpforo_get_member', [ $this, 'forum_topics_member_name' ], 1000 );
add_filter( 'wpforo_user_display_name', [ $this, 'forum_profile_member_name' ], 1000, 2 );
add_filter( 'wpforo_member_nicename', [ $this, 'forum_profile_nicename' ], 1000, 2 );
...
/**
* Forum member name on topics
*
* @param array $member
* @return array
*/
public function forum_topics_member_name( $member ) {
// My own function that gets the name how I want it to
$member[ 'display_name' ] = $this->get_user_nickname( $member[ 'userid' ], false );
return $member;
} // End forum_topics_member_name
/**
* Forum member name on profile
*
* @param string $member
* @param array $member
* @return string
*/
public function forum_profile_member_name( $dname, $user ) {
// My own function that gets the name how I want it to
return $this->get_user_nickname( $user[ 'userid' ], false );
} // End forum_profile_member_name
/**
* Remove forum nicename on profile
*
* @param string $member
* @param array $member
* @return string
*/
public function forum_profile_nicename( $nicename, $member ) {
return '';
} // End forum_profile_nicename
