forum profile has lots of unique data and setting options, if you bypass it, you'll get lots of problems and questions. people will need to manage their account and see forum profile data. Forum profile is not site profile. They have lots of differences. We're currently thinking around merge options but it's not a fast and easy task.

please consider adding the option to bypass the wpForo user profile in favor of the buddypress's altogether - as opposed to having one link to the other. I feel that this dual-profile setup is a little bit redundant and potentially confusing.

Of course, for this to be a complete solution, the user's forum activity would need to be integrated with the buddypress profile template as well.

I have migrated from bbPress, which does integrate with the buddypress activity stream. it's not a big deal now, and I'm sure eventually you guys and the plugin community will enable seamless migration - with full functionality - from all other forums.

I just dropped by to let your team know this is a great plugin. For a Beta product, you guys have done a very good job with the functionality, usability and the professional look of the product.

Thank you very much signalwarrant!

Is there a way of mediating posts before they go public and is there a way of autorising new users so that people cannot abuse the forum and then to block people that create issues?

I'm sorry but there are no such options yet, we'll add it in future releases.
