I already have my own user menu (avatar etc.) for my site and I’m using SSO for Discourse so they share the same user data. It would be terrible UX for a page to have two user menus and if I simply omit mine for the forum section then again there would be terrible UX because they would be different.

Is it not possible for me to replace the Discourse hamburger menu and user menu with my own that incorporate Discourse links (e.g. categories, inbox)?
