Use this one:

add_filter('wpforo_before_update_profile_fields', function($profile_fields){
   if( wpfkey($profile_fields, 'signature') ) $profile_fields = wpforo_text( html_entity_decode($profile_fields), 200, false);
   if( wpfkey($profile_fields, 'about') )     $profile_fields     = wpforo_text( html_entity_decode($profile_fields),     200, false);
   return $profile_fields;
});

You can add functions:
1) Disable the ability to leave links (URL) in the About me and Signature section for all users, except for Administrators and Moderators.
2) Set a limit on the number of characters that can be entered in the About me and Signature fields.
