You could implement the possibility to disable forum profile, so the people go to the site admin to change their profile. You could create a new botton called "signature", for editing the signature and stop----all the other option like the avatar could be modify from the site admin of wordpress.
This is actually pretty easy to do. I just did it with the help of Andy over a couple of emails and help form Andy and Mr. Papa in my posting here -

(I was a guest then - not registered).
For starters let me say that I really like Simple Press's profile display and how it is brought up. It just was not an option for me.
The problem I had was that the couple of users that I had and new users were getting a little condfused. The chat program that I integreated into my WP site did not allow for profiles. So I had to set it to link to a WP page that displays users profiles that I created.
Problems or better yet confusion started coming up about the photo (avatar) people were uploading. In WP they uploaded the pic throught he WP profile page and it would display on the profile page that I had created. In the forums it was a seperate photo and profile edit page.
So through my posting above Andy and Mr. Papa helped me to figure out how to get my "Users Photo" WP pluggin to display in the message boards. That was hurdle one.
Then I was tinkering around in the sf-includes file and saw where I could edit the "profile edit" link. I edited that so that it pointed to WP's edit profile. I have another pluggin for adding additional fields to people's profiles so I wanted them filling out all that infor there.
I then asked Andy about the actual profile link taking you to the profile page (the pop up) he informed me that was a pluggable function and that I could add it to sf-pluggable.php and change the link. So I changed it to reflect pointing to my profiles pages.
Not to bad really. May sound like a lot but it is not.
So, when upgrades come all I have to really remember on that front is the changes I made to the sf-includes file and to save my pluggable.php file.
Knowing me I will forget! Then I can start over with the fun. And in all honesty as long as I save the pluggable the sf-includes is pretty easy to change in a couple of minutes.
Once again, I do like Simple Press's way of doing things and the way it looks/feels better than my own. I just could not have it that way.
