I just think its wrong that a plugin takes over the entire WordPress theme. When you do that its not WordPress anymore its BuddyPress. It adds an additional layer of complexity that is not necessary. Additionally, keeping the theme inside of BuddyPress makes it too easy to couple the functionality of BP to its theme. [...]

@driz BuddyPress is already a theme. Look at bp-default. That is a full WP theme that for some reason was bundled with the plugin. There is a huge mess of code devoted to making this setup work.

If you look in buddypress-links.php you will see there is a configuration constant to use a select box instead of radios.

I would also like to say a HUGE thank you to @leoafarias for financing a large portion of the development that went into this release! This is a great example of how you can invest in your own projects and the community at the same time.
Thanks Leo!

This feature does not exist yet. The categories support is pretty weak at this point.
