BuddyPress.org

I am thinking about moving the status update to a more prominent place on the user’s screen. Right now approx. 98% of our regular users do not use this feature (but when asked they would all love it and use it, they just don’t know it exists).

Is there an easy way to move/copy the status update box from “profile”>”update” to for instance the buddybar ? Aligned right & in favor of the random links. (as in, I see my status, or an empty box in the bar kinda like a twitter-box).

The status-update is a great social tool to bind visitors but for us it’s too hidden from plain view.
