I think it would be nice if I could post a status from that block (or from a button in that block).

Completely different suggestions. If these suggestions exist already (and they probably do) then go and 'like' the first post in each suggestion. If they don't exist then create separate suggestions for these.Sorry for Translate is from Google-Bing.
Yes the 140 charter Limit is not good!! Picture Upload were very nice!
I have this feature on my site with Widget Framework. I don't have any problems with users using it incorrectly.I was using xenporta's status block which had the same feature and people used to reply from there. So I had to remove it. I don't think it is a good idea.
This is one of the reasons why it's at the top. Hopefully this will reduce instances of that.I was using xenporta's status block which had the same feature and people used to reply from there. So I had to remove it. I don't think it is a good idea.
Looks like this was implemented. Thanks @MikeGood stuff. It does look out of place in the block though, some styling or a border bottom would look better.
I applied class "secondaryContent" to it to get the border, the background color doesn't look good but you get the idea...

The biggest concern I have there is people attempting to reply via that.

Then how about actually teaching your users what profile posts/status updates are and how to use the Profile Posts block? A thread (or multiple threads) about the new features, explaining what they are and how to use them I'm sure would help. That's what I always do on my forums.My concern is that putting this input field out there so visible, invites people to click in it and use it. Yes, obviously that's the whole point of it , but it is more visible and easier to post a status update than to post a new thread from 'forum home', and this will rise confusion to people who are new to my platform and many of them are not 'internet techies' so to speak.
I like implementing suggestions and seeing how long it takes for people to notice.
The flood checking applies though. I think anyone having to wait X minutes to fill up the profile post block with a 30 second pause between each message is likely to get bored quickly. Oh. And banned. Yeah. Banned for being a pain in the neck.
