BuddyPress.org

@amanson: The part you mention with the avatar image sounds like it might be the normal behavior. On mine (child of bp-default), when editing the avatar for a group, it lets you crop in the top picture, while the bottom picture is a preview of what the cropped & resized image will look like…. I always assumed that’s just how BuddyPress does things, haven’t tried to do anything with my avatar or a group avatar here on this site, though.
