Seems very possible for someone to extend this into a csv-style upload (as there once was, by the looks of my searching).

I am vaguely interested in how ‘uploading a spreadsheet into a database’ works 🙂

I’m using cURL to fetch the image. I have looked through bp_core_avatar_handle_upload() but this is geared towards a form post from the user’s hdd. Is there a way that I can do this?

When a user goes to edit them, the data is saved correctly. However, when they revisit the edit profile tab, none of the drop downs show as selected. Is this a bug? Or have I broken something?
