I’m using BuddyPress Version 1.5.6 on WordPress 3.4.1.

Yes.

Take a copy of ../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php

Put it in your themes directory using the same sub-dir structure /activity/post-form.php

Then simply comment out line 25 in the script

Quite sure that will do it for you.

Good luck.

I’m using the Genesis frame work with the church theme. What do I exactly have to do to disable “what’s new” in profile?

Read again @frank13 ‘s answer.
You have to make a copy of post-form.php file and put it into your church theme
From within this copy in this copy you comment the line 25, like this
`// printf( __( “What’s new, %s?”, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_user_firstname() );`

Done !
