    When a user updates their EE profile, particularly their name, email, and password - Amember does not update them as well.
    Any help on this one?

    I'm using EE also. I disabled certain profile fields in EE for this reason. So I have 2 links for users -
    1) my subscription - this takes them to their amember page
    2) my account - this takes them to their EE account on the forums where they can update profile fields - but NOT email,name,or password

    Hope this helps!

    I did the same. You need to get into the Member Profile templates and remove the links to changing passwords, etc.

    Thanks, that helps. I did just that. I'll document what I did for future readers..

    EE allows for profile updates in both the forum and member templates, so what I did was change the forum templates to use amember form fields. Also, I didn't feel like updating both the forum and members templates so I just redirected all /members/* URL's to /forum/*

    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    RewriteRule ^member\/(.*) http://www.domain.com/forums/member/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    This way, if someone goes to http://www.mydomain.com/member/X/
    it will automatically go to http://www.mydomain.com/forums/member/X/

    If you're using EE's forum module, there's really no need to use EE's members section as well...
